Conditions

Temperature
85 °C

Procedure

To 30 mL (390 mmol) of g-butyrolactone was added 45 ml (455 mmol) of n-butylamine. The solution was heated at 85° C. for 1.5 hr, then the excess n-butylamine was removed in vacuo. The product crystallized on standing to give about 62 g of a colorless, low melting solid.
