Procedure

Hexyl iodide (50 mmol, 7.38 ml) was added to a mixture of 2-amino acetaldehyde dimethyl acetal (100 mmol, 11 ml) and potassium carbonate (50 mmol, 6.9 g) in DMF (10 ml) at 0° C. Stirring was continued for 16h before diluting with ethyl acetate (200 ml), and ffitering the solution through a plug of celite. Concentration in vacuo was follwed by column chromatography (eluant ethyl acetate) to give N-hexyl 2-amino acetaldehyde dimethyl acetal (7.39 g, 78%) as a colourless oil.
