Procedure

A mixture of 4-chloro-2-methylbenzaldehyde (3.5 g, 22.6 mmol) and aniline (2.11 g, 22.6 mmol) in toluene (40 ml) was heated at reflux in a Dean-Stark apparatus for 1 hour. The mixture was cooled and evaporated in vacuo to leave an oily residue. The residue was redissolved in ether, washed with 5% sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic phase was separated, dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford an oily residue which was purified by distillation via a Kugelrohr apparatus (oven temperature 160° C., 0.5 mm) to provide the title compound (4.0 g, 7.4 mmol, 77%) as a viscous oil; pmr (CDCl3)δ2.5(3H, s), 6.3-7.5(7H,m), 7.95(H, d), 8.6(H,s).
