Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1,1,1-trichloro-2-methylamino-2-formamidoethane (6.85g) and acetic anhydride (17ml) was heated on a water bath for 11/2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated to give a oily residue which was triturated with water. The solid formed was collected, washed with water and dried (3.6g). Recrystallisation from benzene gave pure 1,1,1-trichloro-2-formamido-2-(N-methylacetamido)ethane (3.2g, m.p. 126-8)
