Reaction Steps

A solution of 85.4 gm. of 3-methoxybenzaldehyde, 58.7 gm. of aniline, and 185 gm. of 3A molecular sieves in 700 ml. of anhydrous ether was refluxed for 16 hours. The ether was dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to an oil which upon distillation provided 93.2 gm of oil. b.p. 141°-143°/0.5 Torr.
