Reaction Steps

To (E)-4-(dimethylamino)but-2-enoic acid hydrochloride (110 mg, 0.664 mmol) in acetonitrile (1.5 mL) was added oxalyl dichloride (75.9 mg, 0.598 mmol) followed by one drop of DMF. After heating to 60° C. for 30 minutes, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated to 0.5 mL total volume. The resulting solution was used without further purification.
