Procedure

A well stirred suspension 4-dimethylaminocrotonic acid hydrochloride (5.0 g, 30 mmol) in cold (0° C.) THF (40 mL) and DMF (2 pipet drops) was treated with oxalyl chloride (3.15 mL, 36 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 20-25° C. for 3 h then cooled to 0° C. and held for 30 min. The solids were collected on Buchner funnel (under a blanket of nitrogen) and washed with cold (0° C.) THF (3×5 mL). The product was dried under vacuum (˜1 torr) at 40-50 2° C. for 3 h to give 4.0 g of 4-dimethylaminocrotonoyl chloride hydrochloride. This material is characterized as its methyl ester by treatment of the solid with methanol.
