It goes to 2*Pi but how?

Try substituting in the series expansion for e, that is
e= r=0 1 r!

You should find that you get a lot of integer terms, which can be thrown away as sinx=sin(x+2πn), a term 1/(n+1) and lots of terms that are too small to matter. What you get is thus asymptotically
Nsin( 2π N+1 +O( 1 n2 ))~ 2πN N+1 ~2π
