Reaction Steps

Sodium metal (1 g cat.) was added to ethanol (30 mL) to give a solution which was added to a suspension of ethyl 4-aminobenzoate (175 g, 1.06 mol) and 3,5,5 trimethyl hexanol (200 g, 1.4 mol) in cyclohexane (300 mL). The suspension was heated under reflux for 24 hours with the azeotropic removal of ethanol.
