Procedure

Part (A) of Example I is a process for making MEHEOX, i.e., 2-ethyl-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-oxazolidine by reaction of diethanolamine with methyl ethyl ketone. Replacement of the latter ketone with acetone in molarly corresponding amount yields 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-oxazolidine, herein referred to by the acronym DMHEOX, i.e., dimethyl-hydroxyethyl-oxazolidine. Replacement of the ketone with cyclopentanone or cyclohexanone yields 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2,2-tetramethylene- or 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2,2-pentamethylene-oxazolidine.
