HCID 221420Formamide, N,N-dioctyl-Yield 4.5%

Procedure

By essentially the procedure of Example 1, a tube was charged with 40 g of methyldioctylamine and 1.0 g of CuCl2. 2H2O. The reaction was run at 109°-120° C. for 25 min while oxygen (0.2 mole) was injected incrementally at 160-275 psi. GC/MS analysis showed a 72.0% conversion of methyldioctylamine and a 4.5% yield of dioctylformamide.
