Participants

Reaction Steps

20 mM of cyanomethylamine hydrochloride and 25 mM of oxalyl chloride in 100 mM of absolute dioxane are heated at 60-70° while passing through a stream of nitrogen. After one hour a clear solution results and there is no evidence of hydrogen chloride in the nitrogen stream. The solvent is evaporated under vacuum and the residual, light brown oil is taken up in methylene chloride, filtered over charcoal and stored at -30° until it is to be used.
