Reaction Steps

A mixture of 44 g (purity about 50%, about 0.11 mol) of 1,1-diethoxy-3-methylpentane-2,4-dione (crude product, Example 2a) and 35 g (0.175 mol) of phenylguanidinium bicarbonate in 300 ml of ethanol was heated at 70-80° C. for about 3 hours. The reaction mixture was then concentrated and the residue was filtered, with suction, through silica gel using methyl tert-butyl ether. The solvent was evaporated. Less volatile components were distilled off under a pressure of 0.3 mbar, at a bath temperature of 150° C. The residue obtained was 38 g (quantitative yield) of the title compound as a yellow oil.
