H2NCH2CH2OSO3H + 2NaOH → (CH2)2NH + Na2SO4 + 2H2O

282 grams of β-aminoethylsulfuric acid is distilled with 880 g. of 40% caustic soda solution from a 3000-cc. flask. Shortly before the boiling point is reached, a reaction occurs which keeps the mixture boiling for several minutes; during this time, heating must be discontinued. When the reaction ceases, heating is resumed and a total of 240 cc. is distilled over. One distillation requires about forty-five minutes. On addition of potassium hydroxide to the distillate, 65 cc. of base separates; this is dried repeatedly with potassium hydroxide, then with sodium, and finally fractionated. The use of an efficient distilling column is recommended since the crude base contains higher boiling by-products; yield, 23 g. of ethylene imine boiling at 55—56.5° or 26.5%.
