To a mixture of 1,1,3,3-tetramethoxypropane (3.82 kg, 23.27 mol) and tert-butylhydrazine hydrochloride (2.9 kg, 23.27 mol) in ethanol (24.54 kg), conc HCl (4.72 kg, 46.55 mol) was added, keeping the temperature below 50° C. The reaction mixture was then rapidly heated to reflux. After ca. 2 h the reaction was sampled and analysed by NMR. Pass criteria was <3.0% starting material remaining. On receipt of a pass result the solution is cooled, diluted with water (8.29 kg) and evaporated in vacuo (T<50° C., p<−0.08 MPa) until approximately all of the original ethanol was removed. The solution was basified with 10M NaOH(aq), extracted with EtOAc (11.11 kg×2) and the organic phase washed with saturated ammonium chloride solution (4.3 ml/g×2) and brine (4.3 ml/g), then evaporated to give the title compound (2.08 kg, 72% yield) as a brown liquid (GC purity 99.70% a/a).
