Reaction Steps

A mixture of 110 parts of methyl N-(4-tert.-pentyl-phenyl)-carbamate, 400 parts of aniline, 400 parts of methanol and 0.2 part of sodium methylate is heated to 200° C. in an autoclave and kept at this temperature for 4 hours. The mixture is then subjected to fractional distillation under reduced pressure. 67 parts (83% of theory) of 4-tert.-pentylaniline, of boiling point 140°-142° C./16 mbar, are obtained.
