Ammonium Hydroxide → 1-Amino-3-(diethylamino)propan-2-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the ice-cold solution of ammonium hydroxide (25 mL, 159 mmole) of 25% (w/w) was added glycidyldiethylamine dropwise (3.2 g, 24.8 mmol) over 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0–5° C. for 1 hour and then room temperature for 14 hours. The resulting reaction mixture was evaporated and distilled (84–90° C. at 500–600 mT) to yield 1-amino-3-diethylamino-propan-2-ol (3.3 g, 92%). MS m/z 147 ([M+1]+.).
