Dimethylamine → 1-(2-Chlorophenyl)-N,N-dimethylmethanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The dimethylamine and water streams were initially combined and preheated to 130° C. The stream of o-chlorobenzyl chloride was then introduced by way of a mixing chamber. The temperature in the reaction tube was set to approximately 140° C. After running through the reaction zone, the mixture was cooled and depressurized. The workup analogous to example 1 afforded the (2-chlorobenzyl)dimethylamine target product with a yield and purity as in example 3.
