2,2-dimethylhexanenitrile

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

Procedure: A solution of 2,2-dimethylcapronitrile (10.0 g., 0.078 mole) in 100 ml. of ether is added slowly to a suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (6.0 g., 0.158 mole) in 200 ml. of ether while maintaining the reaction at 0°-5°. After stirring the reaction mixture for an additional 2 hr., at 0.5°, the mixture is hydrolyzed by sequentially adding 6.0 ml. of water, 6.0 ml. of 15% sodium hydroxide solution, and finally 18 ml. of water. The hydrolyzed mixture is stirred for an additional hour, filtered and the ether phase concentrated under reduced pressure. Distillation of residual material provides 2,2-dimethylhex-1-ylamine. the reaction at 0°-5° at 0.5° by sequentially adding 6.0 ml The hydrolyzed mixture is stirred for an additional hour filtered the ether phase concentrated under reduced pressure Distillation of residual material

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

Procedure: 2,2-Dimethylhex-1-ylamine--A solution of capronitrile (25 g., 0.26 mole) and methyl iodide (75 g., 0.53 Mole) in 80 ml. of dry toluene is warmed to 80° and treated gradually with a suspension of sodium amide (25.4 g., 0.65 mole) in 100 ml. of toluene at a rate sufficient to maintain general reflux. After addition is complete, the mixture is stirred and refluxed for an additional 2 hr. period, cooled and treated with 150 ml. of water. The organic layer is separated, washed with water and dried over magnesium sulfate. Concentration of the dried solution under reduced pressure and distillation of residual material affords an 81% yield of 2,2-dimethylcapronitrile. reflux After addition refluxed for an additional 2 hr period, cooled treated with 150 ml The organic layer is separated washed with water dried over magnesium sulfate Concentration of the dried solution under reduced pressure and distillation of residual material
