Trimethylamine → HCID 20574935, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 24.2 (0.2 mole) of 2,6-dimethylaniline and 17.8 g (0.24 mole) of methoxy-acetaldehyde in 150 ml of benzene is treated with 1 ml of 25% trimethylamine solution in methanol and the mixture is refluxed for 5 hours using a steam trap. The reaction mixture is evaporated in vacuo and vacuum distillation of the residue yields the 1-(2'-methoxy-ethylidene-amino)-2,6-dimethylbenzene with a boiling point of 58°-61° C. at 0.1 Torr.
