1,4-Dichloro-cis-2-butene → cis-1,4-Bis-(N-acetyl-N-cyanoamino)-but-2-ene

Participants

Reaction Steps

25.0 g (0.2 mol) of cis-1,4-dichlorobut-2-ene and 46.7 g (0.4 mol+10% excess) of sodium acetylcyanamide are reacted in 80 ml of dimethylacetamide at 70°-88° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture is then filtered with suction, the filtrate is introduced into 400 g of ice and the resulting suspension is filtered. The residue is dried over phosphorus pentoxide at room temperature under 0.13 mbar to give 29.4 g (66.7% of theory) of the desired compound, which has a melting point of 73.8°-75.2° C.
