Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 26.4 g (0.3 mol) of ethyl acetate and 79.2 g (0.9 mole) of 1,2-diamino-2-methylpropane was heated at 100° C. in a pressured bomb for 36 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo and distilled to give 22.4 g (57.4%) of product which had a boiling point of 100° C. at 0.1 mmHg. This product was identified by NMR and IR spectroscopy.
