Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethanolamine (4 ml, 66.3 mmol) in dioxane (50 ml) in the presence of potassium carbonate (6.9 g, 50 mmol) was reacted with 2-bromo-1,1-dimethoxyethane (5 ml, 42.3 mmol) at 75° C. for 6 hours. The solid was filtered and washed with dioxane. The recovered organic phase was concentrated and purified by chromatography on silica gel. Elution with dichloromethane followed by increased polarity to dichloromethane:methanol (97:3), dichloromethane:methanolic ammonia (94:6) yielded 2-((2,2-dimethoxyethyl)amino)ethanol (2.4 g, 38% yield) as a pale yellow liquid:
