N-Methylbutylamine → HCID 58238473, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 32.68 g of N-butyl-N-methylamine (0.375 mol) and 23.66 g of diisopropylcarbodiimide (0.1875 mol) is refluxed for 3 h. GC analysis then shows a conversion of greater than 99.5% of the diisopropylcarbodiimide. The colorless final mixture is concentrated at 60° C. under 5 mbar for 2 h so as to give 40 g of a colorless and virtually odorless liquid of low viscosity, corresponding to the expected guanidine (yield 100%).
