ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed for making a 1,4-diazacyclo-heptan-2-one from a mixture (`first` mixture) of alkylated 1,3-propanediamines one of which (referred to as the `target` diamine) has substituents at specified positions and contains (i) a terminal primary amine group adjacent to a disubstituted C atom (hence, referred to as having a `hindered` N atom), and (ii) a terminal secondary amine group. The target diamine, other diamines and oligomeric polyamines in the first mixture, are made by alkylating an acyclic (`starting` ) 1,3-propanediprimaryamine having the hindered N atom. The first mixture of alkylated diamines, preferably containing a major molar proportion of the target diamine relative to any other alkylated diamines, is reductively alkylated, which unexpectedly results in the reductive alkylation of only the unwanted diamines, allowing the target diamine which is not reductively alkylated, to be removed from the mixture of reductively alkylated diamines. Upon cyclization of the target diamine, using the "ketoform reaction", it is essentially quantitatively converted to the 1,4-diazacycloheptan-2-one having an unsubstituted N.sup.4 atom flanked by disubstituted adjacent C atoms. By removing the unwanted components in the reaction mass an essentially pure product of 1,4-diazacyclopheptan-2-ones is recovered. Thus, the difficulty of separating the target amine from other close-boiling compounds is avoided. As an alternative, the reductive alkylation step can be bypassed and the first mixture subjected to the ketoform reaction, followed by recovery of the desired product.
