Reaction Steps

A solution of 31.64 g (0.2 mol) ethyl butyryl acetate and 5 ml. of ethanol is added dropwise over a period of 5 min. to a solution of 38.7 g (0.6 mol) ethylamine (70% in water) and 50 ml of water (exotherm from 28° C. to 33° C. observed). The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 18 hrs. and is extracted with three 100 ml portions of methylene dichloride (MDC).
