Ethanol → HCID 59827189, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N′-diisopropylidene-4,4′-methylenebis(2,6-diethylbenzeneamine) (2.6 g) and Pt(S)/C (0.35 g) were added to a mixture of ethanol (20 g) and ethyl acetate (20 g) in an autoclave. The closed autoclave was purged 3 times with 125 psig (9.63×105 Pa) of H2 at 22° C. to remove traces of air. The mixture was kept at 22° C. and 0-125 psi (0 to 8.62×105 Pa) of H2 for 1.2 hours, forming the corresponding N,N′-diisopropyl-4,4′-methylenebis(2,6-diethylbenzeneamine) in 70% yield, with 25% of the diimine underhydrogenated. Conversion of the diimine was 95%.
