Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate (18.5 g, 77.34 mmol) and N,N-Dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (9.21 g 77.34 mmol) were dissolved in benzene (10 mL). The mixture was heated under reflux for 1 h. The solvent was evaporated and distilled with a Kugelrohr apparatus to give 12 g of ethyl 2-((dimethylamino)methylene)-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanoate (yield 65%).
