Procedure

Trans-3,4-dimethyl cyclopentanone (2.91 g, 25.94 mmol), ethyl cyanoacetate (2.93 g, 25.93 mmol), ammonium acetate (0.20 g, 2.60 mmol), and acetic acid (0.31 g, 5.17 mmol) were heated together in refluxing toluene under a Dean-Stark trap for 24 hours. After cooling and filtration through kieselguhr, evaporation gave the required product as an off-white solid (5.0 g, 93%).
