EXAMPLE 7. from GB861350:
A mixture of 196 g. of cyclohexanone, 146 g. of n-butylamine, and 600 ml. of benzene was refluxed under a water trap until 36 ml. of water had been removed, The solution of cyclohexylidene-n-butylamine was added to a previously prepared, stirred solution of three moles of phenyl lithium in 3 liters of ether.
The resulting solution was stirred and refluxed for two hours, then decomposed by the cautious addition of 500 ml. water, blah, blah, blah.
In the above example, I'd like to replace the phenyl-lithium with p-bromotoluene/potassium. <- How much of each should I use to convert the cyclohexylidene-n-butylamine? Would I need a Lewis acid like Mg-chloride or bromide?
