p-Toluenesulfonic acid (48 mg, 0.25 mmol) was added to a stirred mixture of ethyl 2-methyl-acetoacetate (1) (346 mg, 2.40 mmol) and a-methylbenzylamine (2) (358 mg, 2.95 mmol) in toluene (13 mL) [1]. Then a Dean-Stark trap device was fit and the reaction refluxed overnight. The mixture was allowed to reach room temperature and percolated over a silica gel pad and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure to yield the title compound 3 (540 mg, 2.32 mmol, 96%).
