Participants

Reaction Steps

9.96 g (0.082 mole) of (R)-(+)-1-phenylethylamine and 10.54 g (0.086 mole) of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde were dissolved in 140 ml of ethyl alcohol, and the resulting solution was stirred under reflux for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the crystalline material thus formed was separated by filtration to give 13.0 g of (-)-N-(p-hydroxybenzylidene)-1-phenylethylamine. Yield: 70.4%.
