Reaction Steps

A mixture of 110 parts of ethyl N-(4-tert.-butyl-phenyl)-carbamate, 370 parts of aniline and 700 parts of ethanol is heated to 180° C. in an autoclave and kept at this temperature for 6 hours. The mixture is then subjected to fractional distillation under reduced pressure. 60 parts (80% of theory) of 4-tert.-butylaniline, of boiling point 93°-94° C./4 mbar, are obtained.
