How about posting/attaching the synthesis for starters? That might help a little..

Is the product more volatile than the reactants? On the off chance that it is, you could distill it off, driving the reaction to completion.
I don\'t understand what you are saying, but I agree with every word of it!

Maybe not. MSDS from Alfa Aesar says that DMF t-Bu acetal boils @ 75-77 °C @ a pressure of 12 mm Hg, implying that it will boil hotter at normal
pressures, and that DMF boils at 153 °C at normal pressures. I'm feeling slightly lazy employing Clausius-Clapeyron at the moment...
