Reaction Steps

A total of 145 g of tertiarybutylaminoethoxyethanol, 108 g of 37% aqueous formaldehyde, 10 g of 10% Pd/C, and 1 l of methanol were charged to an autoclave, pressured up to 1000 psi with H2 and heated at 80° C. for 8 hours. Filtration and distillation of the reaction mixture yielded 128 g of N-methyl-N-tertiarybutylaminoethoxyethanol with b.p. of 128° C. at 23 mm.
