Reaction Steps

A mixture of about 83.1 grams (1.00 mole) valeronitrile, about 64.8 grams (1.05 mole) ethanolamine, and about 6.2 grams (0.025 mole) cadmium acetate dihydrate is heated at about 124 degrees C. to about 128 degrees C. and stirred under nitrogen for about two days. The product is then distilled under vacuum. The fraction boiling at about 67 degrees C. to about 75.5 degrees C. at about 28 mmHg is collected.
