Dimethylformamide → Dichlorobenzylidenamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The base is liberated from about 80–90, preferably 84.0 mmol of 3-chloro-1,1-dimethylpropylamine-hydrochloride by known methods. The free base is dissolved in about 50 mL of a solvent, preferably toluene, diethylethylether, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylsulphoxide, dimethylformamide or methylene chloride and about 60 to 100 mmol, preferably 80.0 mmol of 2,6-dichlorobenzaldehyde are added at ambient temperature, with stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred for 5 to 20 h, preferably for 15 h at ambient temperature, dried again and the solvent is removed. The corresponding dichlorobenzylidenamine of compound (III) is obtained.
