The temperature of the reaction mixture was then gradually raised to 120°-130° C and 8 ml. water was collected. The reaction mixture was then saturated with ammonia gas, the resulting salt precipitate removed by filtration on a Buchner funnel to provide a benzene solution of the reaction product. The benzene solvent was removed under vacuum. A yield of 11.8 grams of a yellow oil was obtained. The yellow oil was chromatographed on silica gel with 5% ethyl ether in n-hexane elution to provide 9.5 grams of an odorous yellow oil which distilled at 125°-130° C at 20μ vacuum pressure to provide 6.5 grams of a light yellow oil product.
