To a stirring solution of 21.1 g (0.3 mole) 2-aminopropionitrile in 300 ml. dry tetrahydrofuran under a nitrogen atmosphere, there is added 30.7 g (0.3 mole) t-butyl isocyanate (97%). The resulting mixture is heated at reflux for five hours. At the end of this period, the tetrahydrofuran is removed at reduced pressure. The solid is recrystallized from methanol:water, 60:40, to give N-(1-cyanoethyl)-N'-(1,1-dimethylethyl)urea, m.p. 161°-3°.
