Reaction of t-butylamine with cyclohexane-1,3-dione
Abstract
When t-butylamine reacts with cyclohexane-1,3-dione in refluxing xylene the first product is a dehydrated dimer of the diketone which then reacts with the base. The nature of the yellow final product is discussed on the basis of u.v., pKa and n.m.r. data.
