Ethanol → HCID 21555208, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N′-diisopropylidene-[diethyl(methyl)-1,3-benzenediamine] (3.17 g) and Pt(S)/C (0.3 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-[diethyl(methyl)-1,3-benzenediamine] in 94% yield. Six percent of the diimine was underhydrogenated; conversion of the diimine was 100%.
