Propylene → 2-Fluoro-6-isopropylaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-fluoro-6-isopropyl aniline was prepared by the method of Example 2 using an H-Y zeolite catalyst for the condensation of 2-aniline and propylene. In this reaction 2-fluoroaniline and propylene were fed to a reactor in a 1:5 mole ratio and LHSV of 0.25 based on 2-fluoroaniline. The reaction was conducted at 255° C. and 879 psig. The effluent product stream was analyzed by gas chromatography. Conversion of 2-fluoroaniline was 71.2%.
