Aniline → 1,2-Ethanediamine, N1,N1-diethyl-N2-phenyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

93 parts of aniline, 180 parts of 2-diethylaminoethanol and 10 parts of triphenyl phosphite are heated for 20 hours at 210° C in a stirred autoclave. The autoclave is then let down and the water of reaction formed, the excess aniline and the unconverted aminoalcohol are distilled under reduced pressure. 144 parts of N-(β-diethylaminoethyl)-aniline, corresponding to a yield of 75% of theory, distil at a boiling point of 185° - 187° C/15 mm Hg.
