Reaction Steps

Butyroyl chloride (194.7 g, 1.83 mol) in 1 L of tetrahydrofuran was added to a three neck round bottom flask equipped with a thermometer, stir bar, and dropping funnel. The contents of the flask were then cooled to 15° C. in an ice bath while stirring. Allylamine (208.7 g 3.65 mol) in 50 mL tetrahydrofuran was then added slowly through the dropping funnel while maintaining stirring. Throughout the addition, the temperature was maintained at 15° C. After addition was complete, stirring continued for an additional 15 minutes, after which the solid allylamine chloride precipitate was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to yield 236.4 g of N-allyl butyramide as a colorless viscous liquid.
