4-methyl-4-phenylpentan-2-amine

Conditions: temp:20.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 16.7 g (0.1 mol) of dichloromaleic anhydride and 17.7 g (0.01 mol) of 3-phenyl-1,3,3-trimethylpropylamine are stirred in 100 ml of glacial acetic acid under reflux for 4 hours. 50 ml of water are added and the mixture is cooled to 20° C. The product is filtered off with suction and dried. 23.5 g (72% of theory) of dichloromaleic acid N-(3-phenyl-1,3,3-trimethylpropyl)-imide of melting point 106°-109° C. are obtained. under reflux for 4 hours The product is filtered off with suction dried
