A 5 L tri-neck round bottom flask (equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a thermal controller, and a condensing tube) was communicated with a nitrogen source and contained 500 g of dibromobiphenyl (1.6 moles), 620 g of 3-methyldiphenylamine (3.4 moles), 50 g of diphenylamine (0.3 mole), 24 L of toluene, 27 g of 1,10-phenanthroline (0.14 mole), 16 g of cuprous chloride (0.14 mole) and 168 g potassium hydroxide (3 moles). The mixture solution was stirred for 30 minutes and heated to 125° C. The mixture solution was further stirred to react for 6 hours and had added thereto 500 ml of toluene, 500 ml of deionized water and 400 g of acetic acid to neutralize the potassium hydroxide. The mixture solution was held at 70° C. and then poured into an extracting bottle to place for 10 minutes until layers of the mixture solution separated. An organic layer, i.e. a toluene solution, was removed from the mixture solution, washed with 1 L of deionized water twice and kept at 60° C. The toluene solution was filtered by 500 g of Woelm neutral alumina to obtain a filtering liquid. Then, the filtering liquid was dried to obtain 605 g of a crude mixture of benzidine compounds in the form of a white solid. Lastly, n-octane was used to dissolve the crude mixture and to re-crystallize the benzidine compounds in the form of pure white crystal. The pure white crystal weighed 500 g, has a melting point range of 169-170° C., and is a final mixture of the benzidine compounds having high purity. |
