Aniline → 2-Chloro-6-(1-methylethyl)benzenamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-chloro-6-isopropyl aniline was prepared by the method of Example 2 using an H-Y zeolite catalyst for the condensation of aniline and propylene. 2-chloroaniline and propylene were fed to the reactor in a 1:5 mole ratio and LHSV of 0.25 based on 2-chloroaniline. The reaction was conducted at 250° C. and 1343 psig. The effluent product stream was analyzed by gas chromatography. Conversion of 2-chloroaniline was 72%.
