Theses

A series of dialkoxy derivatives of N,N'-di-tert-butyl-2-butylamino-3,3-dichloro-4-dichloromethylene cyclobutenyl carboxamidinum chloride, were prepared by dissolving either Na+ or K+ alkoxide in the appropriate alcohol, or by treatment with potassium hydroxide in the appropriate alcohols. Thus, the dimethoxy, diethoxy, di-isopropoxy, di-n-butoxy, di-tertbutoxy derivatives were obtained.
