Procedure

To a solution of benzylamine (29.65 g, 277.0 mmol) in ethanol (40 mL) was added 1,2-epoxybutane (4 g, 55.47 mmol) and the mixture was heated to 150° C. for 2 h in a autoclave. It was concentrated and distilled at 140-150° C./2 mm Hg to give product as color less liquid, which slowly crystallizes at room temperature after 2 days. Yield: 8.5 g (85%)
