Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(diethylamino)propanenitrile (1 g, 8 mmol) and NH2OH (50% in water, 0.73 cm3, 11.9 mmol) in EtOH (10 cm3) were heated to reflux for 24 hours, after which the solvent and excess hydroxylamine were removed by rotary evaporator. The residue was freeze-dried and kept in high vacuum line until it slowly solidified to give 3-(diethylamino)-N′-hydroxypropanimidamide (1.18 g, 92.6%) as a white solid, mp 52-54° C.
