Participants

Reaction Steps

27.5 g of o-methylbenzylhydrazine, dissolved in 100 ml of ethanol, were added dropwise at room temperature to a solution of 32 g of β-amino-β-ethoxyacrylic acid ethyl ester and 1.5 g of p-toluenesulphonic acid in 300 ml of ethanol. After standing overnight, the reaction solution was concentrated in vacuo and the compound identified above, which separated out as a precipitate, was filtered off and recrystallised from ethanol. Melting point: 138°, 15 g (37%).
