Well that is my question.. it would much easier for me tha using diclhoroethane and NH3 under high pressure. Instead of it how much pressure would be
enought?
thankss

sorry i had a mistake i meant from ethyleneglycol and NH4Cl

you can't make EDA nor DCE with NH4Cl. I'm making an improvised method for EDA but hasn't test it yet: extract ethanolamine from
dishwashing liquid add excess conc HCl plus ZnCl<sub>2</sub> and warm for some hours then cool and collect the
ClCH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>Cl crystals. if no crystals formed then boil off some of it and try
again. add the crystals to an anhydrous solution of NH<sub>3</sub> in MeOH and boil bp of MeOH is of course lower than that of EDA so
distillation is a possible way of separation. you just need to work out the needed amounts.
