Abstract

The base-catalyzed reaction of nitriles with alcohols to form imidates has been established as an attractive synthetic method which is useful for a wide variety of electronegatively substituted aliphatic and aromatic nitriles. This reaction is used as the basis for a convenient procedure for the preparation of amidine salts.
