alpha aminonitriles derived from reaction of carbonyl compounds and fatty aklyl alkylene diamines

摘要

An alpha -aminonitrile compound derived from the reaction, in the presence of a cyanide source of (1) a bisulfite adduct of a carbonyl compound selected from the group consisting of an aldehyde and a ketone with (2) a fatty alkyl alkylene diamine containing two reactible amino functionalities which is of the formula RNHR1NH2, where R is fatty alkyl and R1 is lower alkylene of up to six carbon atoms.
