Propylamine → N-((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl)propan-1-amine

To a solution of propylamine (0.72 mL, 7.7 mmol) and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-carbaldehyde (1.0 g, 7.7 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (25 mL) was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (2.28 g, 10.8 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 1.5 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then quenched with sat'd aq NaHCO3 and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried with MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude material that was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (CH2Cl2 to 10% MeOH in CH2Cl2, gradient) to afford 1.26 g (73%) of N-((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl)propan-1-amine.
