Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromomethyl-4,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane (100 grams) and 40% aqueous methylamine (300 ml) were charged into a glass reaction vessel fitted with a mechanical stirrer and thermometer and were stirred at room temperature for a period of about 14 hours. The reaction mixture was then extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was dried and the ether stripped off using a rotary evaporator to yield the desired product N-(4,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)methylamine as the residue.
