Certain disadvantages are inherent in the methods which are available for the preparation of 2-alkylaminoethanols1 RNHCHzCH20H. The reaction of primary amines with ethylene oxide'and with ethylene chlorohydrin2 produces a mixture of mono and dialkylaminoethanols. The reaction of ethanolamine with alkyl halidesa may lead to either secondary or tertiary amino compou'nds. The method described by Goldberg and WF ...
