Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a twelve liter Morton flask equipped with stirrer, thermometer, reflux condenser, heating mantle, and addition funnel are placed 89 grams (0.69 moles) of di-n-butyl amine and 42 grams (0.69 moles) of acetic acid. The resulting reaction mass temperature rises to 50° C. (as a result of salt formation to form di-n-butyl amine acetate). The reaction mass is cooled to 38° C. and rapidly, 1600 grams (19.74 moles) of 37% formaldehyde (effective weight 592 grams) is added to the reaction mass.
