Procedure: 18.324 g of Undecyl cyanide, 15.12 g of N-isopropylethylenediamine and 0.5 ml of carbon disulfide were heated at 125° C. for 24 hrs. and worked up as mentioned under Example 23, followed by distillation at 150° C./1.2 mm gave 21.93 g (82.3%) of the product. followed by distillation at 150° C./1.2 mm

Conditions: temp:125.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 18.32 g (100 mmoles) of undecyl cyanide, 8.5 ml (127 mmole) of ethylenediamine and 0.5 ml of carbon disulfide were mixed and heated in an oil bath at 125° C. for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, treated with dilute hydrochloric acid and treated with charcoal. The light yellow filtrate was basified and extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic extracts dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was Kugelrohr distilled and then recrystallized from toluene. Yield 13.7 g (61.1%), m.p. 82° C. The reaction mixture was cooled extracted with ethyl acetate the organic extracts dried over magnesium sulfate concentrated distilled recrystallized from toluene
