Reaction Steps

More specifically, resorcinol of formula (A) is reacted with m-toluidine of formula (B) in the presence of iodine in a nitrogen current to obtain N,N'-di(3-tolyl)-1,3-phenylenediamine of formula (C). Then, N,N'-di(3-tolyl)-1,3-phenylenediamine is reacted with iodotoluene of formula (D) in the presence of potassium carbonate and powdery copper under reflux in nitrobenzene to obtain N,N,N',N'-tetra(3-tolyl)-1,3-phenylenediamine of formula (E).
