Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into a reaction flask were introduced 89.7 g of methyl 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoate, 82.1 g of dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal and 200 ml of dimethylformamide (DMF), and the content of the flask was stirred at 120° C. for 6 hours. DMF was distilled off to obtain a red-violet colored solid product. Then, 300 ml of methanol was poured into the flask to wash the crystalline matter, and filtered. Thus, 104.8 g (yield 91%) of methyl 4-dimethylaminovinyl-3-nitrobenzoate was obtained.
