2-Methoxyethanol → Ethanamine, 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-N,N-bis[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl]-

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the mixture thus obtained, 51.6 g of tris(2-chloroethyl)amine hydrochloride (0.215 mole) are added. The mixture is then heated at the reflux temperature of the 2-methoxyethanol (125° C.) for 12 hours and then the solvent is removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The excess sodium 2-methoxyethanolate is neutralized by the addition of 11.6 cm3 aqueous HCl (10 N). The sodium chloride is filtered off and the solution is distilled.
