Abstract: The technology of combining microwave irradiation with phase transfer catalysis was applied to organic synthesis.The intermediate of a ligand tris(2-cyanoethyl)amine was synthesized by the reactions of ammonia water and acrylonitrile in the pressure termetic pot under microwave irradiation.The reaction was completed in 61.2%(weight) yield,and the reaction time was 8 times shorter than the traditional method.The reaction was 67.2%(weight) yield,and the time was shortened by 90 times under microwave irradiation.The product was characterized by elemental analysis,IR,1H-NMR,ES-MS,and TG-DTA.

Key words: tris(2-cyanoethyl)amine, high pressure hermetic seal, phase transfer catalysis, microwave-promoted, characterization
