Production of N,N-di(ethyl)-meta-toluamide from meta-toluic acid by liquid phase catalytic reaction with diethylamine

摘要

Meta-toluic acid reacts with diethylamine in the liquid phase at elevated temperatures in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of titanium tetrachloride and certain organic titanates to form N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide.
