Reaction Steps

20.3 grams of t-butylamine (0.28 mol) was metered over a period of 16 minutes to 33.0 grams of cinnamaldehyde (0.25 mol) during stirring and cooling. The mixture was left to stand overnight at room temperature. 150 ml of butanone was then added to the crude reaction mixture to enable the water formed during the reaction to be evaporated azeotropically. The mixture was evaporated on a rotary evaporator. The residue consisted of 45.6 grams of product having a purity of 98%. Yield 96%.
