1,6-Dichlorohexane → 1,6-Bis-(N-acetyl-N-cyanoamino)-hexane

Participants

Reaction Steps

106.1 g (1.0 mol) of sodium acetylcyanamide and 77.5 g (0.5 mol) of 1,6-dichlorohexane are reacted in 750 ml of dimethylformamide at 146°-147° C. for 8 hours, the mixture is then filtered with suction and the filtrate is concentrated on a rotary evaporator at 80° C. in vacuo. 125 g (99.9% of theory) of a crude product, which is recrystallised from a mixture of acetone/diisopropyl ether (3:5), are obtained. The yield of pure substance is 58.8 g (46.9% of theory) and the product has a melting point of 59°-61° C.
