In order to complete a study of the reductive alkylation of aromatic primary amines' by extending the reaction to include acid reducing agents, an examination was made of compounds where the active 2, 4, B-positions were blocked. This blocking was necessary because aniline and aldehydes react to form polymers in the presence of acid, whereas Clark, Gillespie and Weisshaus' had already shown that 2, 4, 6-tribromoaniline could be ...
