Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6.1 g. of 1-benzyl-3-oxo-5-hydroxy-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, 3.6 g. of methyl-3-aminocrotonate (97%), 3.6 g. of o-tolualdehyde, 55 ml. of ethanol and 18 ml. of acetic acid was refluxed for 7 hours. The solution was evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was triturated with diethyl ether and the solid was separated by filtration. Recrystallization from ethanol afforded the title compound, m.p. 201°-204° C.
