The synthesis of N,N ‐dimethylbenzylamine from benzylamine and methanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid catalyst has been carried out under pressure. Nitrogen pressure is helpful only to a limited extent, beyond which it is neither helpful nor detrimental. Under optimum conditions (517 K, 6.0295 MPa, residence period 2 h, benzylamine‐to‐methanol‐to‐hydrochloric acid mol ratio 1:2:1) the conversion of benzylamine to N,N ‐dimethylbenzylamine is 57.09%.
