2,4,6-Triethylbenzene-1,3-diamine → HCID 14573496, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suitable autoclave was charged with 1 g (0.052 mol) of purified 1,3-diamino-2,4,6-triethylbenzene, 0.15 g (1.2 mmol) of potassium t-butoxide, 1.0 g of 5% Ru on alumina, and 50 mL of t-butanol and heated to 190° C. at 25.5 MPa hydrogen for 17 hours. The autoclave was then cooled and its contents filtered. The solvent was removed from the filtrate in vacuo and the resulting liquid distilled through a 20.3 cm. Vigreaux column at about 1 mm Hg/187°-191° C. to give 6.8 g (66%) of 1,3-diamino-2,4,6-triethylcyclohexane.
