Ethylamine → 2,2-Diethoxy-N-ethylethan-1-amine

Ethylamine (38 grams) and 1-bromo-2,2-diethoxyethane (20 grams) were charged into a glass reaction vessel equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermometer and reflux condenser. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux overnight. After this time the mixture was washed with aqueous sodium hydroxide and the organic phase separated from the aqueous phase. The organic phase was then distilled to yield the desired product N-ethyl-N-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)amine as an oil.
