Reaction Steps

15 g of 2-cyano-2-decanoylamino-3,3-dimethylbutane (prepared from acylation of aminonitrile obtained from treatment of pinacolone with sodium cyanide and ammonium chloride) in 250 ml of 95% ethanol and 70 ml of ammonium hydroxide was hydrogenated with T-1 Raney Nickel. The catalyst was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was distilled at reduced pressure to give 7.5 g (52%) of the product.
