Procedure
Ethyl formate (55.6 g, 750 mmole) and 37.5 g (385 mmole) of N,N-diallyl amine were combined in a 250 mL 3-neck flask equipped with mechanical stirrer, Friedrich condenser, and N2 blanket. The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux temperature (120° C. oil bath) for 24 hours and then sampled by GC to determine if all the N,N-diallylamine was reacted, RT of 0.4 mm. The product was vacuum distilled using a 1-piece apparatus with a fractionation column. The first fraction distilled at 30° C./16 torr. The second fraction N,N-diallylformamide (NDF), distilled at 88°-90° C./10-14 torr. The yield was 95%. Structure was confirmed by NMR.
