Procedure

An amount of 10 g (92 mmol) of 2,2-difluoro-1-chloroethane, 5 g (46 mmol) of benzylamine and 5.2 g (51 mmol) of triethylamine are heated in 20.6 g of N-methylpyrrolidone in an autoclave at an internal temperature of 120° C. for 6 hours. Subsequently, 100 g of 1N hydrochloric acid are added and the solvent is removed under vacuum. The residue is taken up in 30 ml of dichloromethane and adjusted to pH 8 with solid sodium hydrogencarbonate. The phases are subsequently separated and the aqueous phase is again extracted with 20 ml of dichloromethane. The organic phase is distilled. An amount of 7.3 g of N-benzyl-2,2-difluoroethanamine is obtained, which corresponds to a yield of 93%, based on benzylamine.
