Reaction Steps

Combine 7.95 g (0.055 moles) ethyl(heptyl)amine, 3.5 ml (0.055 moles) chloroacetonitrile, 5.8 g (0.055 moles) sodium carbonate and 25 ml toluene in a sealed pressure tube. Heat to 125° C. for 18 hrs. Follow the progress of the reaction by thin layer chromatography on silica gel (CH3CN+MeOH+NH4OH, 85+10+5). At the completion of the reaction, filter the reaction mixture and evaporate the solvents to provide the title compound.
