Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 50 mL single-neck round bottom flask equipped with a distillation head was charged with 15.1 grams (0.096 mole) of methyl 3-(N-vinylformamido)propionate, 9.95 grams (0.09 mole) of diethanolamine and 0.15 gram of 25% sodium methoxide in methanol solution. The mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 2 hours and the generated methanol was removed by distillation at reduced pressure. Both proton NMR and GC analyses indicated approximately a 90% conversion to the titled product.
