Reaction Steps

18.6 Parts of aniline, 20.4 parts of 36% w/w hydrochloric acid containing 13.6 parts of zinc chloride are stirred and refluxed for 24 hours with 23.6 parts of α-methylstyrene. The work-up follows Example 3 and gives on distillation 32.9 parts of 4-cumylaniline mb4 175°-80° C. (78% yield based on a 93% purity by G.L.C.).
