Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-3-methyl-N-(1-methylethyl)benzamide (0.5 g, 2.6 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) was added paraformaldehyde (78 mg, 2.6 mmol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (18 mg, 95 μmol) and the mixture was heated at reflux until it became clear (approximately 4 hours). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give the title compound (95% pure) which was used without further purification.
