One-thousand one-hundred grams of ammonia gas was introduced into a mixture of 6 liters of ethanol and 1 liter of water and within 30 minutes there were dropped in at room temperature 320 grams of 1,2-epoxyoctane. The mixture was left at room temperature for 70 minutes under gentle stirring, then the solvent and excess ammonia drawn off and the residue rectified in a vacuum. There were obtained 277.6 grams (77.1% of theory) of 2-hydroxyoctyl amine having a boiling point (0.4 mm Hg) of 80° C.
