Preparation of Triacetoneamine, II

Abstract
The preparation of triacetoneamine (1) by the condensation of acetone with ammonia in the presence of calcium chloride is investigated. The progress of the reaction is monitored by gas chromatography. The effects of added ammonium chloride, the total amount of ammonia introduced, and the temperature of the reaction on the weight yield and purity of 1 are investigated. The optimized conditions for the preparation of 1 at 59 °C are described.
