Reaction Steps

To a 300 ml stainless steel, stirred autoclave there was added 21 g of tertiarybutylamine, 20 g of tertiarybutylaminoethoxyethoxyethanol, 0.6 g of Ni-Al2O3 -SiO2 catalyst (Harshaw NI-5132P), and 50 ml of toluene. The autoclave containing the reactants was heated to 200° C. under autogenous pressure (180 psi) for 6 hours. The contents were cooled, removed and filtered. The autoclave and filtercake were washed with additional toluene. G.C. analysis revealed that the product was comprised of about 91 wt. % 1,2-bis-(tertiarybutylaminoethoxy) ethane and less than about 5 wt. % tertiarybutylaminoethoxyethoxyethanol. Vacuum distillation gave 17.3 g of 1,2-bis-(tertiarybutylaminoethoxy) ethane, having a boiling point of 125°-128° C./3 mm.
