Mannich reactions have been carried out with a variety of model alkylphenols and dimethylamine, methylamine, and diethylenetriamine to trace the origin of persistent coloured products occurring in related reactions with pentadeca(e)nylphenol and 4-tert-alkylphenols. It was found to be attributable to the presence of resorcinolic impurities.
The coloured products from the reaction of resorcinols with methylamine, dimethylamine and other alkylamines have been studied. Phenoxazinones, xantheines and other nitrogenous compounds are formed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
