24. The Action of Nitrosy] Chloride on Secondary 
Amines, Methylbenzylnitrosamine and 
EthylbenzylInitrosamine. 
By Rastx Lat Datta. 
The action of nitrosyl ee on ee amines was 
studied for the first time by Solonina (J. Rus 0C., 
1898, 30, 43). For this purpose, ae added an sitet solution 
of nitrosyl chloride to a solution of the amine in ether. The 
and nitrosoisobutylene were formed. Ethylamine gave nitro- 
isobutylamine, seine el hee aby and nitrosopiperidine from 
the corresponding secondary 
To study the general -applinabllity of the method and also 
the action of this reagent on tertiary cyclic bases, this abr apenok 
tion was undertaken. In this communication, the results are 
described of the action of nitrosyl chloride on two neoondary

Nitrosyl chloride was prepared according to the method of 
Tilden (Journ. Chem. Soc., 1860, 13, 630). For this purpose a 
mixture of nitric acid (Sp. Gr. 1-42) and hydrochloric acid (Sp. 
Gr. 1-16) was heated and the dried vapours passed into a solu- 
acid forming nitrosylsulphuric acid, while antl latter esca 
The nitrosylsulphuric acid thus obtained was h 
anhydrous sodium chloride, when a stream of Finan chloride 
was obtained. 
nstead of using an ethereal solution of nitrosy] chloride as 
did Solent, the gas was directly passed into an ethereal solu- 
tion of the amine, when secondary nitrosamine and amine
