Reaction Steps

In 10 ml of pyridine was dissolved 0.5 g of diallylamine hydrochloride, and 1.0 g of acetic anhydride was added to the solution. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 hours. Water was added to the mixture and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed with 0.01 N aqueous HCl solution, 1% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and finally with water, and concentrated to obtain 0.47 g of N-acetyldiallylamine [IR: 1640 cm-1, 1H-NMR δH 2.08 (3H), 3.94(4H), 5.16(4H), 5.76(2H)].
