Abstract
The synthesis of 4,4′-dimethoxydiphenylcyanamide has been accomplished by treatment of 4,4′-dimethoxydiphenylamine with cyanogen chloride or alternatively by removal of the elements of water from N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)urea. These reactions may be reversed by hydrolysis of the cyanamide with alcoholic or aqueous alkali, respectively. This nitrogen analogue of methoxychlor exhibits a very slight toxic effect on mosquito larvae (Aedes aegypti (L.)).
