The hydrogen chloride evolved in the course of this addition escapes continuously. The reaction mixture is cooled to 10° C. and then filtered. The filter residue is washed with cyclohexane and dried at 40° C. under vacuum, affording 34.1 g of 4-bromo-2,6-diisopropylaniline hydrobromide (99.9% of theory) in the form of yellow crystals of 98.7% purity and having a melting point of 234°-235° C. (compound 1).
