4-Diisopropylamino-2-phenyl-butyronitrile → alpha,alpha-Bis[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl]-alpha-(2-pyridyl)acetonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Substitution of an equivalent quantity of the preceding acetonitrile for α-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl]-α-phenylacetonitrile called for in Example 2, Method B and substantial repetition of the procedure detailed in that example, affords α,α-bis[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl]-α-(2-pyridyl)acetonitrile, as an oil boiling at about 155°-160° C. at 0.3 mm. pressure.
