REACTION OF TRICHLOROACETONITRILE WITH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY AMINES: PART I. PREPARATION OF SOME TRICHLOROACETAMIDINES

Abstract

Trichloroacetonitrile reacts with primary and secondary aliphatic and primary aromatic amines to give N-substituted trichloroacetamidines. A series of N-mono- and N-di-substituted trichloroacetamidines, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] was prepared by carrying out the reaction in water, in water–methanol solutions, or in the absence of solvents.
