3-[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)anilino]propanenitrile

Conditions: temp:50.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a mixture of 4 g. (.05 mole) of potassium cyanate and 25 ml. of sulfolane at 90° C. are added dropwise 9 ml. (12.3 g, 0.1 mole) of 1-bromopropane over a one-hour period. After 10 minutes of stirring at the same temperature, a solution of 6 g. (0.027 mole) of N-(2-cyanoethyl)-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)aniline in 5 ml. sulfolane is added. The resulting mixture is stirred at 90°-100° C. for three hours and then allowed to cool to 50° C. The mixture is poured into 1 liter of water under agitation, and the resulting layers separated. TLC of the organic layer in 4:1 benzene: acetone shows the absence of starting alcohol with the product of the above formula. To a mixture of 4 g The resulting mixture is stirred at 90°-100° C. for three hours the resulting layers separated

Conditions: temp:90.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Into a 500 ml. three-necked round-bottomed flask equipped with thermometer, stirrer, reflux condenser, and dropping funnel are placed 40 g. (0.493 mole) of potassium cyanate and 250 ml. of sulfolane (tetrahydrothiophene-1,1-dioxide). This mixture is heated with stirring to 90° C. by means of an oil bath. Bromoethane (95 g., 0.8 mole) is then added dropwise to the mixture over a 1.5 hour period. The temperature of the reaction mixture drops to 75° C. during the addition of bromoethane. A solution of 50 g. (0.228 mole, 86.5%) N-(2-cyanoethyl)-N-(2-hydroxyethyl) aniline in 50 ml. of sulfolane is added, and heating of the resulting mixture is continued at 90° C. for three hours. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature and then poured into 2 liters of cold water. The mixture is agitated for 0.5 hour, and the two resulting layers separated. TLC of the organic layer in 4:1 benzene:acetone shows only a trace of starting material. The infrared spectrum of the product of the above formula shows absorptions at 3370, 2250, 1915, 1680, and 596 cm-1. three-necked round-bottomed flask equipped with thermometer, stirrer reflux condenser This mixture is heated heating of the resulting mixture The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature The mixture is agitated for 0.5 hour the two resulting layers separated
