Reaction Steps

In a manner analogous to that described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,920,077, 148.3 g (2 moles) of 1,2-diaminopropane and about 500 ml water are placed in a 2-liter 3-necked flask. While stirring, 170.2 g (2moles) of acetone cyanohydrin in 100 ml water are added in 20 min. The reaction is allowed to proceed at 80°-92° C. for 24 hr then water and unreacted materials are removed at 15 mm Hg. The residue, which formed a solid on standing, when dissolved in acetone and recrystallized was found to melt at 115°-117°.
