How is 2-Ethoxyethanamine (CAS: 110-76-9) typically synthesized?

2-Ethoxyethanamine is typically synthesized via the reaction of ethyl acetate with ammonia or ammonium hydroxide in the presence of an acid catalyst. The reaction is carried out under reflux conditions to ensure the desired product formation. The yield is usually around 85-90%. This method provides a selective route to 2-ethoxyethanamine with good purity and yield.
