Benzene → HCID 21561539, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3,3-diphenylpropylamine (4.9 g) and 3,3-diphenyl-1-chloropropane (5.0 g) in xylene (10 ml) was heated at 120° to 130°C for 4 hours. After cooling, a small amount of benzene was added to the reaction mixture and then the mixture was filtered to remove 3,3-diphenylpropylamine hydrochloride. The filtrate was washed with 5 % hydrochloric acid and water in order. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting crystalline residue was recrystallized from methanol to give bis(3,3-diphenylpropyl)amine hydrochloride (3.0 g.). M.P. 192° to 194°C.
