to an improved process for producing alkenylated aromatic amines which involves the catalytic reaction of an aromatic amine with a diene the improvement resides in using a solvent in which the aromatic amine and diene are soluble in the proportions present in the reaction but inert to the reaction application_number US 13577187 A description in the manufacture of alkenylated aromatic diamines aliphatic diolefins which contain two conjugated double bonds typically polymerize in the presence of acid catalysts under alkenylated conditions and as a consequence the alkenylated derivative is not formed this was particularly true where the catalyst systems were based upon aluminum containing compositions such as aluminum anilide or aluminum chloride the aromatic amines which are suited for reaction with the diene to produce alkenylated aromatic amines represented by the formulas str1 wherein r is hydrogen c 1 10 alkyl r 1 is hydrogen or c 1 10 alkyl x is 1 or 2 a is c 0 4 alkylene or nh and z is 1 or 2 except one z in formula i can be zero as shown in the above formulas the aromatic amine can be monoamino or diamino substituted on the aromatic ring further the aromatic amine can be substituted with a variety of substituents which are nonreactive with the.
