Procedure

The resulting aqueous dispersion of N,N-dichloro-2-amino-2-methylbutanenitrile was adjusted to pH7 by the addition of caustic soda and 3 ml of "Arquad 16-29%" surfactant added. After addition of a further 2.2 equivalents of caustic soda, 16.8 gm of 2-amino-2-methylbutanenitrile were added slowly over 60 minutes whilst maintaining the temperature at 20° C. The resulting suspension was filtered, washed and dried to yield 28.6 gm of the title compound (yield 84.2%).
