Procedure

A mixture of 5.7 g (0.1 mol) of methyl isocyanate and 20 ml of pyridine was stirred at 0° C. for 5 minutes and then slowly added to a solution of 20 g (0.23 mol) of 1,2-diamino-2-methylpropane in 30 ml of pyridine. The reaction mixture was warmed to 20° C. and stirred for 1 hour. Evaporation of the solvent in vacuo gave 11.6 g (90%) of product, recovered as an oil, which was identified by NMR and IR spectroscopy.
