Anhydrous monomethylamine (about 1-1.5 eq.) was introduced below the surface of a stirred solution of benzaldehyde (1062 g, 10.0 mol) in toluene (2000 ml) cooled to 0° C. The rate of addition of monomethylamine was adjusted so as to maintain the reaction temperature between 25°-30° C.; after 45 minutes the addition of monomethylamine was terminated. The organic phase was separated and concentrated in vacuo. Distillation of the residual oil afforded N-benzylidenemethylamine (1047 g, 8.79 mol) in 88% yield. The product had a boiling point of 79° C. at 20 mm. [This N-benzylidinemethylamine starting material is reported by R. B. Moffett et al, Org. Syn. Coll. Vol. IV, 605-608 (1963)].
