α,α-Dimethyl-β-arylethylamines, and Their Behavior in the Bischler-Napieralski Reaction

Abstract

N-(p-Cyclopentylphenyl)tetrachlorophthalimide. To a boiling solution of 1 g. of tetrachlorophthalic anhydride in 15 ml. of acetic acid, 0.6 g. of p-cyclopentylaniline was added dropwise, and the mixture refluxed for a few minutes. The solid formed after cooling was recrystallized from acetic acid, giving shiny colorless needles, m.p. 242°.
