Procedure
N,N-Dimethyl-2-furanethanamine (9.8 g), 30% aqueous formaldehyde (17.5 g) and glacial acetic acid (18 ml) were heated at 70° for 5 hr. The reaction was cooled, basified with sodium hydroxide and extracted with ether. The organic extracts were distilled to give an oil b.p. 90°-100° (0.5 mm).
