Benzaldehyde → N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)benzenemethanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In an analogous manner to that in example 1c, except using 4.0% by weight of hydrogenation catalyst, based on the total amount of amine, 1 mol of tert-butylamine was reacted with cyclohexanal (example 3a) or benzaldehyde (example 3b) to give the corresponding secondary amines (tert-butylcyclohexylmethylamine and benzyl-tert-butylamine respectively) which were then analyzed by gas chromatography. For these reactions, yields of 87.3 area % (example 3a) and 14.2 area % (example 3b) of the corresponding secondary amines were achieved.
