Synthesis: To a 250 ml round bottom flask was added p-benzoquinone (11.89 g, 0.11 mol) and 120 ml acetone and stirred well. Subsequently, a solution containing 0.11 mol of ethyl 3-(methylamino)-2-butenoate was added slowly and dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at 30°C for 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed by distillation. The crude product was purified by recrystallization using acetone.
