Dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal → HCID 54034117, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 27.6 g of 4,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-methyl-5(1H)-cycloheptapyrazolone and 100 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal was heated at reflux for 1.5 hours. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure and the residue was flash chromatographed (10% methanol in dichloromethane) to give 4-(dimethylaminomethylene)-4,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-methyl-5(1H)-cycloheptapyrazolone.
