Participants

Reaction Steps

2,6-Dimethylaniline (12.1 g, 0.1 mole) and allyl chloride (3.8 g, 0.05 mole) were mixed and heated over a steam bath using an efficient reflux condenser for 8 hours, then treated with aqueous caustic soda solution, extracted with ether, the ethereal layer worked up and the residue distilled to give 2,6-dimethylphenyl allylamine, b.p. 5355°/0.3 mm) (6.0 g, 75%).
