Above 85 reaction A becomes very fast and considerable direct amide formation takes place. Our system refluxes at about 80 and gives nearly quantitative reduction (reaction B). Direct amide formation also is mini-mized by the fact that free ethylenediamine is kept to a minimum. In con-trast to the work cited where ethylenediamine is the solvent and, therefore, is present in large excess, the ethylenediamine was added as it reacted while the hydrocarbon was in excess. The net result of the two factors favoring reduction over direct amide formation is a yield of 85-95% based on lithium metal in contrast to a yield of 51% cyclohexene and 1.4% cyclohexane based on benzene using a fourfold excess of lithium over benzene. No cyclohexane was detected in our work. the crystalline material could always be obtained by seeding the reaction at the half-way point.
