Procedure

In a 1,000 mL reactor are added at 0° C., 360 g (4 mol) of dimethylamine (DMA) solution at 50% by weight in methanol and 43.2 g (0.2 mol) of sodium methylate at 25% by weight in methanol. To this mixture are added at 0-5° C. and within 1 hour, 472 g (4 mol) of dimethyl oxalate. The mixture is maintained with stirring and at 0° C. for 2 hours. The reaction medium is concentrated in vacuo (Pmax=200 mbars) for removing residual DMA and methanol and an 85% orthophosphoric acid solution (23 g 0.2 mol) is then added. The salts formed are filtered and then the filtrate is distilled in vacuo (Tbp=68-70° C., P<1 mbar) in order to recover the desired product (461 g).
