Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl propionylacetate (50 g, 0.35 mol, 1.0 equiv) and 3-hydroxypropionitrile (35 mL, 0.52 mol, 1.5 equiv) was heated at 190-210° C. while EtOH (19 mL) was collected by distillation. The residue was distilled in vacuo to afford 37 g (63%) of yellow oil (b.p. 120-125° C./0.4 mm Hg), which was characterized spectroscopically.
