Reaktionsschritte

A mixture consisting of 128 g (1.0 mole) of o-chloroaniline, 304 g of conc. hydrochloric acid and 61 g of water was maintained at 90°-95° C., and with sufficient stirring, 70 g (1.0 mole) of crotonaldehyde was added dropwise over the course of 2 hours. After the addition, the mixture was reacted further at 90°-95° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled, and then rendered alkaline by adding a conc. aqueous solution containing 132 g of sodium hydroxide with ice cooling. The alkaline mixture was separated into layers, and the oily layer was distilled at 2-3 mmHg to afford 72 g (0.4 mole) of 8-chloroquinaldine.
