Procedure
The same equipment and conditions as in example I were employed with the following charge: 20.4 grams (0.1 mole) iodobenzene, 27.4 grams (0.15 mole) diphenylamine, 16.8 grams (0.3 mole) potassium hydroxide flakes, 15.0 grams of copper powder and 30.0 milliliters of Soltrol® 170. The above-identified product was obtained as colorless crystals having a melting point of 125°-126° C. Yield 82%.
