N-Ethylethylenediamine → HCID 13908289, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of glyoxylic acid hydrate (9.2 g, 0.10 mol) and N-ethylethylenediamine (8.82 g, 0.10 mol) in ethanol (150 ml) was hydrogenated in a Paar apparatus at 20°-25° and an initial pressure of 51 psi with 5% Pd on carbon (2.0 g) as catalyst. After 18 hours, hydrogen uptake was complete. Catalyst was removed by filtration through a pad of diatomaceous earth and the filtrate concentrated to give N-(2-ethylaminoethyl)glycine.
