Synthesis of N- and C-terpenylanilines and the study of their properties

Among various catalysts for the alkylation of aniline with camphene, aluminum phenolate was found to be the most effective for the synthesis of N-isobornylaniline. Studies of the antioxidant properties of terpenylanilines on various in vitro models revealed a significant dependence of their activity on the position and structure of the terpene moiety, the choice of the method for assessing the antioxidant properties being also dependent on their structure.
