SETT ATT FRAMSTELLZ N,N-DIALLYL-DIKLORACETAMID GENOM OMSETTNING AV DIALLYLAMIN OCH DIKLORACETYLKLORID

摘要

A novel process is described herein for the efficient production of N,N-diallyldichloroacetamide by reaction of diallylamine and dichloroacetyl chloride. The process comprises admixing an excess of diallylamine with sufficient strong aqueous sodium hydroxide such that at all times during the reaction, the pH of the reaction mixture remains above a pH of 10, then slowly adding dichloroacetyl chloride to said mixture under violent agitation, while maintaining the reaction temperature from about -10 to about 100 DEG C to effect production of N,N-diallyldichloroacetamide in yields in excess of 80 percent, while eliminating the production of amine salt by-products.
