  Swim has discovered a source for a significant quantity of diethylamine.  A friend was wondering if there was anyway to convert this to ethylamine?  A utfse search turned up nothing in this vein, and would like to know if this is possible?

I am not aware of any method of doing that which is easier/cheaper than making the ethylamine from scratch by other routes.
