Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suitable reaction flask is added 275.0 grams of 3-dodecyloxy-3-ethylpropyl amine (example 21). Heat while under agitation to 40° C. A nitrogen blanket is applied to the headspace of the reaction vessel. Keep the reaction flask headspace blanketed with nitrogen throughout the entire reaction period. Begin addition of 90.0 grams of 2-pentenenitrile under good agitation keeping the temperature below 50° C. When all of the 2-pentenenitrile has been added, let react for two hours at 50° C.
