Reaction Steps

A solution of 17.5 g (0.2 mol.) of asym.dimethyl ethylene diamine in 100 ml of methanol is added dropwise to a solution of 25.1 g (0.2 mol.) of 2,3-dimethyl maleic acid anhydride in 100 ml of chloroform. The mixture is stirred for one hour at 15° C. The solvents are evaporated in vacuo and the residue is recrystallised from acetone. The pure product has a melting point of 9° C. and is used in the next step (c).
