Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

75 g of a 25% aqueous ammonia solution are placed together with 10 g of Raney nickel and 20 ml of 1N aqueous NaOH as well as 52.2 g (0.2 mol) of 3,3-dimethyl-12- isopropyl-1-aza-1,5,9-cyclododecatriene into an autoclave with magnetic stirrer. After the reaction mixture has been heated to 175° C., hydrogen gas is injected up to a total pressure of 50 bar. After a reaction time of 9 hours, the mixture is cooled and distilled. There is obtained 65% of the theoretical yield of 1-isopropyl-10,10-dimethyl-1,11-diaminoundecane.
