Abstract
Mono-ar-tert-butyl toluenediamine is selectively made by heating a mixture of toluenediamine and an aluminum halide of the formula R.sub.n AlX.sub.3-n or R.sub.3 Al.sub.2 X.sub.3 wherein n is 0, 1 or 2 and R is an alkyl containing 1-10 carbon atoms to 150.degree.-225.degree. C. and reacting the mixture with isobutylene at 500-300 psig until the yield of mono-ar-tert-butyl toluene is at or near maximum. Minor amounts of di-tert-butyl toluenediamines which form and are difficult to separate can then be lowered by venting the reaction and continuing to heat at about 130.degree.-200.degree. C. until the di-tert-butyl components are decreased to the desired level forming additional mono-ar-tert-butyl toluenediamine.
