Abstract

Amidines have been prepared in good yield by treating ammonia,. primary and secondary aliphatic amines, and aromatic amines with ketenimines I-VII. Although aromatic amines are less reactive than aliphatic amines, good yields were obtained at elevated temperatures. Ketenimines IV and V were less reactive than other ketenimines, but yields of 8494% were obtained by employing elevated reaction temperatures and alkali metal catalysts. ...
