Reaction Steps

9.3 g (0.1M) aniline and 9.5 g (0.11M) γ-butyrolactone were mixed and heated to 200° for 48 hours. The mixture was then placed under high vacuum whereupon unreacted γ-butyrolactone, analine and water were removed. Distillation of the residue at 138°-140°/300 μ gave 6.3 g (39%) of the product. [84% yield, based on reclaimed starting materials.]
