Methanimidic acid, N-cyano-, ethyl ester → HCID 178423705, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred and heated (<40° C.) solution of 96 parts of decahydro-2,2-dimethyl-1-naphthalenamine in 400 parts of ethanol were added dropwise 48 parts of ethyl N-cyanomethanimidate. Upon complete addition, stirring was continued for 2 hours. The precipitated product was filtered off (and set aside) and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was treated with 2,2'-oxybispropane. The precipitated product was filtered off and combined with the product, which was set aside (see above). Both were crystallized from acetonitrile. The product was filtered off and dried, yielding 67 parts (54.1%) of N'-cyano-N-(decahydro-2,2-dimethyl-1-naphthalenyl)methanimidamide; mp. 227.6° C. (intermediate 7).
