Procedure

35 g of 3,3′-iminobispropylamine (266.7 mmol) were solubilized in 150 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran under an argon stream. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0° C. on an ice bath and 65 ml of ethyl trifluoroacetate (546.8 mmol) were added dropwise (very slowly) using a dropping funnel. At the end of the addition (3 hours later), the reaction mixture was allowed to return to room temperature and the stirring was maintained for a few hours under argon.
