A 2M THF solution of borane-dimethylsulfide (31.5 mL, 63 mmol) was added dropwise to an ice water-cooled solution of N-(1-methylhept-1-yl)acetamide (5.13 g, 30 mmol) in THF (60 mL). The resulting solution was stirred at RT for 1 h, then was refluxed overnight. With ice-water cooling, the excess borane-dimethylsulfide was quenched by the dropwise addition of ethanol (10 mL), and the mixture was allowed to stand at RT overnight. The amine hydrochloride could not be precipitated with the addition of HCl gas, so the amine hydrochloride was extracted into dilute HCl. The acidic aq solution was extracted with ether, then made basic and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate solution was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to afford 3.70 g of impure N-ethyl-N-(1-methylhept-1-yl)amine as an amber oil.
