Procedure

A solution of 1.41 g (10 mmole) of 3-cyclopentylpropionamide and 1.53 g (15 mmole) of 2-ketobutyric acid was stirred and refluxed under a small Dean-Stark trap. After 8 hrs the solution was cooled, resulting in heavy crystallization. The solid was collected on a filter and washed with toluene and CH2Cl2. Yeld of white crystals=1.44 g, mp 180.5°-182° (prelim. softening). The material was recrystallized from methyl ethyl ketone. Yield of white needles=0.63 g (28%), mp 184°-185° (slight prelim. softening). Tlc (4:1 toluene-AcOH) now showed a single spot, and NMR indicated essentially pure Z-isomer.
