Aniline → 1,2-Ethanediamine, N1-phenyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

It is known to produce certain unsymetrically substituted 1,2-ethanediamines. Current processes, however, have proven unacceptable. For example, G. I. Braz et al. disclosed that the aminoethylation of aniline with ethyleneimine afforded only a 13 percent yield of N-phenyl-1,2-ethanediamine. The remaining product comprised polyamino ethyl compounds of high molecular weight. Dokl. Akad. Nauk., 59, 489 (1948), Chem. Abstr., 42, 6747 (1948).
