Reaction Steps

Dimethyl formamide dimethyl acetal (6.0 ml) was added to a solution of 3-cyclopropyl-1-(4-methyl-3-methylsulphenylphenyl)propan-1,3-dione (8.71 g) in toluene. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Further dimethyl formamide dimethyl acetal (2.0 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred and heated at 50° C. for 24 hours. It was cooled and evaporated to dryness to give 3-cyclopropyl-2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethylene)-1-(4-methyl-3-methylsulphenylphenyl)propan-1,3-dione (10.6 g) as a brown oil.
