Abstract

The 2-piperazinones are made by reacting a 1-cyano-1-hydroxyalkane with ethylenediamine or a substituted ethylenediamine in aqueous solution. The process to make the 2-piperazinones suitable as a regenerable sulfur dioxide absorbing medium requires that the cyano compound be present in at least a molar equivalent amount to the diamine and that the resulting 2-piperazinone product be sparged with an inert gas.
