Benzalmethylamine, benzalbenzylamine and hydrobenzamide react with formamide, when heated with it, to form N-formylbenzylamine and N-formyldibenzylamine with some by-products. Reduction of these imines at a high temperature and high pressure, under the presence of formamide, results in the conversion of benzal radical to N-formylbenzylamine in almost theoretical yield.
