4-nonylaniline

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

Procedure: Nonyl benzene was prepared by alkylating benzene with mixed propylene trimer using Friedel Crafts reaction. Nonyl benzene was nitrated and reduced to give p-nonyl aniline. A solution of p-nonyl aniline (30 g), acetophenone (60 g), toluene (200 ml) and pyridine (20 ml) was refluxed with continuous removal pf water. N-(α-methyl benzylidene)-p-nonyl aniline (III) was obtained by fractional distillation. III had a boiling point of 194° C. at 0.05 millimeter.
