Isobutylamine → HCID 54505442, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3.13 grams (0.0428 moles) of isobutylamine in 20 ml of pentane in a 50 ml erlenmeyer flask, cooled by a water bath, was added dropwise with stirring 6.9 grams (0.0214 moles) of 2,2'-azobis (2-isothiocyanato-4-methylpentane) (from Example XXX). The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours and the pentane evaporated under reduced pressure leaving 8.5 grams (85% crude yield) of a brown oil. The infrared spectrum of the product showed a strong broad band at 1530-1555 cm-1 (indicative of the ##STR49## group in these azos) a NH band at 3300 cm-1 and the absence of the isothiocyanate band at 2000-2130 cm-1 that was present in the starting material.
