			Reaction Scheme: <img src="/images/empty.gif" alt="" />Aminolysis of &beta;-Ketoester<img src="/images/empty.gif" alt="" />. Part I

Chemicals Used

4,4´-Diaminodibenzyl (Fluka)
tert-Butyl acetoacetate (Acros Organics)
DMAP (Merck)

Procedure

A mixture of 4,4´-diaminobibenzyl (1.0 g, 4.71 mmol), tert-butyl acetoacetate (1.54 mL, 9.42 mmol) and DMAP (345 mg, 2.82 mmol) in toluene (20 mL) was refluxed overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, the precipitated product was collected by filtration and washed with cold diethyl ether (3x5 mL) and dried. The title compound was obtained as a pale brown solid (1.50 g, 84% yield).

Author's Comments

Aromatic bisacetoacetamides are useful as intermediates in the production of bisacetoacetanilide azo dyes, pigments and polymeric colorants.
This reaction was carried out by Elif Özdemir in the  final year research project under my supervision.
