Erickson, John G.; Montgomery, W. H.; Rorso, Ole published the artcile< Dialkoxyalkanenitriles. III. Hydrogenation to α-amino acetals>, COA of Formula: C6H11NO2, the main research area is .
The appropriate 2,2-dialkoxyalkanenitrile, solvent, and Raney Ni (and NH3 if used) pressured in an autoclave with stirring with about 100 atm. H, the mixture heated until H absorption was observed, held at this temperature, cooled when the H absorption ceased, centrifuged, and distilled gave the corresponding amino acetals. (MeO)2CHCN (I) (0.50 mol) in 80 cc. dioxane hydrogenated in the presence of 1.0 mol NH3 at 75-90° and 130 atm. yielded 38% H2NCH2CH(OMe)2 (II), b768 139.5°, f.p. below -78°, d25 0.9676, nD25 1.4144. A similar run in 80 cc. methylal at 75-80° and 135 atm. yielded 56% II; in 80 cc. cyclohexane at 80-90° and 87 atm. the yield was 67%. (EtO)2CHCN (III) (0.39 mol) in 80 cc. EtOH and 0.7 mol NH3 gave at 75-125° and 197 atm. 10% H2NCH2CH(OEt)2 (IV), b769 163°, f.p. below -78°, d25 0.9108, nD25 1.4142. A similar run in 75 cc. methylal with 0.8 mol NH3 at 75-80° and 197 atm. gave 85% IV. III (1.16 mol) and 2.3 mol NH3 in 240 cc. cyclohexane gave at 75-90° and 100 atm. 87% IV; a similar run in 275 cc. cyclohexane without NH3 at 75-80° and 100 atm. gave 67% IV and 13% HN[CH2CH(OEt)2]2, b1 86°, f.p. -30°, d25 0.9419, nD25 1.4250. (BuO)2CHCN (0.27 mol) and 0.5 mol NH3 in 85 cc. cyclohexane gave at 75-80° and 87 atm. 67% H2NCH2CH(OBu)2, b17 118°, b2 78° f.p. below -78°, d25 0.8835, nD25 1.4274. (MeO)2C(CN)Me (0.83 mol) and 3.0 mol NH3 in 300 cc. cyclohexane gave at 75-115° and 122 atm. 88% H2NCH2C(OMe)2Me, b751 146°, f.p. -70°, d25 0.9620, nD25 1.4220. (EtO)2C(CN)Ph (0.35 mol) and 1.5 mol NH3 in 40 cc. cyclohexane yielded at 100-50° and 163 atm. 71% H2NCH2C(OEt)2Ph, b0.5 68°, sets at -40° to a hard glass, d25 1.0050, nD25 1.4950.
