Reaction Steps

Ethyl (4-formylphenoxy)acetate (104.1 g, 0.5 mole), butylamine (36.6 g, 0.5 mole) and benzene (400 ml) were united and refluxed in a flask equipped with a Dean-Stark water separator. After one hour, water ceased to separate. The heating was terminated after 6 hours and the mixture distilled. There was obtained 108.6 g of product boiling at 178°-181° C. at 0.5 mm Hg pressure.
