Procedure

Reflux a mixture containing N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-propargylamine (70 gm), 93.5 ml of 32% formaldehyde, 76.4 ml of diisopropylamine, 19.66 gm of cuprous bromide and 860 ml of p-dioxane for 12 hours. Cool and dilute the resulting mixture with 3000 ml of Et2O, wash with 500 ml of water, 1000 ml acetic acid, 500 ml of water (2×), 200 ml sat'd. sodium chloride, dry (MgSO4) and evaporate in vacuo. Flash chromatograph the residue eluting from silica gel with 10% Et2O/hexane to yield 40.8 g of the desired compound. Rf is 0.31 (eluted from silica gel with 10% EtOAc/hexane).
