Reaction Steps
266.2 g N-ethyl aniline was charged in a reactor along with 200 ml o-xylene. To this 132.5 g of 2-chloro-cyclohexanone was added over a period of 2 hours to obtain a clear solution which was then heated to 100° C. and stirred for 2 hours with water removal. The contents were further heated to 150-160° C. with simultaneous water removal by applying mild vacuum. The reaction mass was worked up as above to get 136 g crude 9-ethyl tetrahydrocarbazole with 96.8% GC purity.
