Propylamine → N-(2,2-Diethoxyethyl)propan-1-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Propylamine (100 ml) and 1-bromo-2,2-diethoxyethane (50 ml) were charged into a glass reaction flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, heater and reflux condenser. The reaction mixture was then heated at reflux for a period of one hour with stirring. After this time the mixture is treated with 50% by weight aqueous sodium hydroxide and was then distilled under reduced pressure to yield the desired product N-propyl-N-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)amine.
