The autoclave is closed and 1.370 kg of ammonia are forced in. The mixture is then heated to 230° C. and a pressure of 200 bar is established by forcing in hydrogen. The mixture is kept at the reaction temperature until a constant pressure is achieved (about 8 hours). It is then left to cool, and is filtered to give 1.710 kg of crude 2,6-dimethylcyclohexylamine (a mixture of 3 stereoisomeric 2,6-dimethylcyclohexylamines). The crude product is distilled to give 1.685 kg of 2,6-dimethylcyclohexylamine, boiling point=167°-168° C., corresponding to a yield of 98%.
