Ethanolamine → 1-[(2-Hydroxyethyl)amino]-2-methyl-2-propanol

1-Chloro-2-methyl-2-propanol (135 ml) was added dropwise over 10 min to stirred 2-aminoethanol (400 ml) at 10° C. under nitrogen. The cooling bath was then removed and stirring was continued at room temperature for 48 h. A solution of sodium hydroxide (48.8 g) in methanol (440 ml) was added and the resulting white suspension was stirred for 10 min. The mixture was filtered through a pad of kieselguhr and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residual oil was distilled in vacuo to give 1-[(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-2-methyl-2-propanol (133 g). b.p. 100°-108° C. (1.5 mm Hg).
