Procedure

20 g (196 mmol) of acetic anhydride in 100 ml of benzene are added, drop by drop, at reflux to a stirred suspension of 32 g (198 mmol) of 4,4-diethoxybutylamine and 24 g (174 mmol) of potassium carbonate in 600 ml of benzene. The mixture is heated to reflux for 15 min. and cooled, the precipitate is filtered and the filtrate is evaporated to dryness. The residual oil is treated with vegetable charcoal in 300 ml of diethyl ether and, after filtration and evaporation of the filtrate in vacuo, 37.3 g (183 mmol) of oily product are obtained. n20D =1.4472.
