N'-[2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethyl]ethane-1,2-diamine;dihydrochloride

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

Procedure: In one embodiment about 4 equivalents of sodium methoxide are mixed with about 1 equivalent of triethylenetetramine tetrahydrochloride in a mixture of methanol and ethanol, for example. The reaction mixture is filtered, the solvent is evaporated, and the product is dissolved in tert-butylmethylether and again filtered and dissolved, giving triethylenetetramine in yield greater than about 95%. The triethylenetetramine is dissolved in about 2.0 equivalents of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Less than about 2 equivalents of concentrated hydrochloric acid may also be used. Ethanol is added and triethylenetetramine dihydrochloride precipitates in yield greater than about 86%. Purity of triethylenetetramine dihydrochloride so produced is about 100%, as determined using the methods set forth in USP27-NF22 (page 1890) for analysis of trientine, with less than about 10 ppm heavy metals as determined by USP <231> II. triethylenetetramine dihydrochloride precipitates in yield greater than about 86%
