Ammonia → Benzophenone imine

Participants

Reaction Steps

91.1 Grams of benzophenone and 0.1 g of benzoic acid were charged into a pressure reactor, and an ammonia gas under 8 atmospheres was continuously fed to the reactor through a gas dispersing plate at a feed rate of 2 l/min. at a reaction temperature of 200° C. Reaction was carried out for 2 hours. As a result, benzophenoneimine was obtained in yield of 65%.
