Procedure

A mixture of 56.4 g (0.30 mol) of 4-acetoxy-2-methyl-2-butenal dimethyl acetal, 150 ml of diethylamine, 675 mg (3 mmol) of palladium (II) acetate and 3.9 g (15 mmol) of triphenylphosphine was boiled under reflux for 15 hours under argon. After concentrating the mixture, the residue was suspended in 170 ml of ether/pentane (1:1), the solution was treated with active carbon, filtered over Hyflo and concentrated. The residual oil was firstly distilled at 40°-55°/0.3 mmHg over a 5 cm Vigreux column, there being obtained 57.1 g of N,N-diethyl-4,4-dimethoxy-3-methyl-2-butenylamine as a 90:10 (E/Z) mixture. This mixture was then fractionated over a 30 cm packed column. There were firstly obtained a total of 34.8 g (58%) of mixed fractions [(E/Z)=86:14] and then 14.5 g (24%) of pure (E)-N,N-diethyl-4,4-dimethoxy-3-methyl-2-butenylamine of boiling point 30°-32°/0.06 mmHg.
