Abstract
A catalytic intermediate useful in the preparation of ortho-alkylated aromatic amines is prepared by heating an amine in the presence of aluminum metal, zinc metal and aluminum chloride. This catalytic intermediate is used to alkylate aromatic amines which may be the same as or different from the amine used in the catalytic intermediate preparation. In a preferred embodiment, toluenediamine is alkylated in the ortho positions to form diethyltoluenediamine.
