Cyanogen Chloride → HCID 85891174, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

156 g (1 mole) of 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidine are dissolved in 500 ml of methylene chloride, 40 g (1 mole) of sodium hydroxide in 500 ml of water are introduced and 51 ml of cyanogen chloride are added dropwise at a temperature of 0° to 5° C. The mixture is stirred until it reaches room temperature, after which 4-cyanamido-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidine, which melts at 240° C, is filtered off in a yield of 166 g (corresponding to 91.5% of the theoretical).
