PROCESS FOR PREPARING BENZYLATED AMINES

Page/Page column 8, (2008/06/13)
This present invention relates to a process for preparing benzylated amines by the reaction of an amine selected from methamphetamine and propylhexedrine with benzyl halide. Numerous improvements are obtained by employing the amine in molar excess with respect to benzyl halide, preferably in a molar ratio of 2 to 1. The excess amine is employed to selectively neutralize by-product acid as the amine salt. The amine salt is then separated from the reaction mixture and basified to reclaim starting amine for recycle to the process.
