REACTION OF TRICHLOROACETONITRILE WITH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY AMINES: PART III. STRUCTURE OF AMIDINIUM CATION IN THE LIGHT OF INFRARED STUDY
Keyword(s):
The infrared spectra of 14 trichloro- and trifluoro-acetamidine hydrochlorides were studied. It was concluded that protonation occurs at the imino nitrogen atom of the N-substituted amidines. Both nitrogens of the amidine grouping, C(=N)N, become electron-deficient due to resonance leading to the single structure (III), regardless of which of the tautomers is present in the equilibrium mixture, and of the number and type of substituents on the amidine nitrogen atoms. These findings predestine to failure any attempts to isolate the two amidine tautomers, whenever amidinium salts are involved as intermediates.
