Abstract
Abstract N-Alkylglycinonitriles are manufactured by reacting N-alkylamines with formaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid under specific reaction conditions in respect of temperature, reaction time and hydrocyanic acid concentration. The products are starting materials for the manufacture of dyes, fungicides, bactericides, textile assistants and assistants used in dental cosmetics, gas purification and waterproofing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A process for the manufacture of an N-alkylglycinonitrile of the formula ##STR4## where R 1 and R 2 may be identical or different and each is alkyl of 1 to 20 carbon atoms or alkenyl of 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 2 may also be hydrogen, which process comprises: reacting an N-alkylamine of the formula ##STR5## where R 1 and R 2 have the above meanings, with formaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid in the presence of water for from 0.1 to 4 hours and at a temperature of from above 40° up to 80° C., the concentration of the hydrocyanic acid during the reaction being not more than 0.1 percent by weight, based on the reaction mixture.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A process for the manufacture of an N-alkylglycinonitrile of the formula ##STR4## where R 1 and R 2 may be identical or different and each is alkyl of 1 to 20 carbon atoms or alkenyl of 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 2 may also be hydrogen, which process comprises: reacting an N-alkylamine of the formula ##STR5## where R 1 and R 2 have the above meanings, with formaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid in the presence of water for from 0.1 to 4 hours and at a temperature of from above 40° up to 80° C., the concentration of the hydrocyanic acid during the reaction being not more than 0.1 percent by weight, based on the reaction mixture.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reaction is carried out with from 0.1 to 2 moles of amine per mole of formaldehyde, taken as 100% strength.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reaction is carried out at from 45° to 75° C.

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reaction is carried out under conditions such that the concentration of hydrocyanic acid during the reaction is from 0.01 to 0.1 percent by weight, based on the reaction mixture.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reaction is carried out under conditions such that the concentration of hydrocyanic acid during the reaction is from 0.05 to 0.1 percent by weight, based on the reaction mixture.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reaction time is from 1 to 2 hours.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
39 words
