Sodium Sulfate → 2,2-Dimethyl-5-(2-(2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy)ethyl-imino)-3-hexanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 100 mL round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, 8 g 2,2-dimethylhexane-3,5-dione was combined with 1.1 equivalents of 2-(2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy)ethylamine, anhydrous sodium sulfate and anhydrous diethyl ether and stirred over three days under nitrogen. The ether was removed on a rotary evaporator and the residue was vacuum distilled through a Vigreux column to yield 9.7 g of product.
