N,N'-di-sec-butylidene-4,4'-methylenebis(2,6-diethylbenzeneamine) → N,N'-di-sec-butyl-4,4'-methylenebis(2,6-diethylbenzeneamine)

Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N′-di-sec-butylidene-4,4′-methylenebis(2,6-diethylbenzeneamine) (22.53 g) and Pt(S)/C (2.65 g) were added to acetone (34.0 g) in an autoclave. The closed autoclave was purged 3 times with 125 psig of H2 (9.63×105 Pa) at 22° C. The mixture was kept at 21° C. and 125 psi (8.62×105 Pa) of H2 for 6.5 hours, forming the corresponding N,N′-di-sec-butyl-4,4′-methylenebis(2,6-diethylbenzeneamine) quantitatively.
