HCID 789206-Isopropyl-o-toluidine

Procedure

2-Methyl-6-isopropyl aniline was prepared by the method of Example 2 using an H-Y zeolite catalyst for the condensation of aniline and propylene. The ortho-toluidine and propylene were fed to the reactor in a 1:5 molar ratio and at an LHSV of 0.25 based on o-toluidine. The reaction was conducted at 250° C. and 861 psig. The effluent product stream was analyzed by gas chromatography. Conversion of o-toluidine was 81.5%.
