Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,6-diisopropylaniline (10.0 g, 56.4 mmol) in acetic acid (160 ml) were added water (40 ml) and hexamethylenetetramine (15.8 g, 0.113 mol) and stirred at 120° C. for 3 hours. The reaction solution was diluted with water and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (silica gel 200 g, developing solvent; hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1) to provide 10.6 g (yield 92%) of 4-amino-3,5-diisopropylbenzaldehyde as yellow solid.
