I was hoping you help explain how we synthesize ethyl-isopropyl amine from acetone.. (Acetone is the source of the isopropyl group. Ethylamine is the source of the ethyl group. They react to form an imine, which is next reduced to the target amine. Same strategy will work for many other amines. - GS).
