Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

At 5° to 10° C., 186 g (2.4 moles) of a 40% strength aqueous methylamine solution is dripped into a solution of 232 g (2 moles) of methyl acetoacetate in 150 ml of water. The mixture is then stirred for 12 hours at room temperature (20° C.). The product is then separated from the solution by suction filtration. After washing with ice water and drying under reduced pressure, there is obtained 212 g (82%) of a white solid; m.p.: 62°-63° C.
