Procedure

2-t-Butylaniline (0.3 mole), 2-methyl-5-chloromethyl-1,3-dioxolane (0.3 mole), potassium carbonate (0.3 mole) and tetraethylammonium chloride (2 grams) are charged into a glass reaction vessel equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermometer and reflux condenser. The reaction mixture is heated at reflux for a period of 48 hours. After this time the mixture is filtered to yield the desired product N-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-5-ylmethyl)-2-t-butylaniline.
