Reaction Steps

N-methyl cyanoacetamide (113 g., 1.15 mole), 2,4-pentanedione (115 g., 1.15 mole), piperidine (11.5 ml.) and anhydrous ethanol 250 ml. are refluxed with stirring for 3 hours. The mixture is allowed to stand overnight at room temperature and the white crystalline precipitate is collected by filtration to give 1-methyl-3-cyano-4,6-dimethylpyrid-2-one, 144 g. (77.4% yield), mp. 202°-205° C.
