Organic Syntheses Procedure
A solution of 2,6-dimethylaniline (48.5 g., 0.4 mole) (Note 1) in 100 ml. of anhydrous benzene is added to the well-stirred mixture. The reaction is mildly exothermic. The mixture is heated at the reflux temperature for 30 minutes, and the benzene is then removed using a rotary evaporator.
