Abstract: Process for producing 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline by reacting aniline with an acetone compound at 80.degree.-150.degree. C. in the presence of, as catalyst, both hydrogen fluoride and boron trifluoride.

Abstract: A normally liquid stabilizer for rubber or urethane resin, obtained by reacting hydroquinone with a mixture of aromatic amines of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, independently of each other, are hydrogen or C.sub.1-18 alkyl, said aromatic amine mixture containing 7-26 weight % of p-ethylaniline and 8-40 weight % of 2,4-xylidine.

Abstract: Antidegradants for rubber comprising a mixture consisting essentially of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline monomer, dimer thereof and more highly polymerized products than the said dimer, the contents of the said quinoline monomer and the said quinoline dimer being less than 5% by weight and 25% by weight or more, respectively. The antidegradants for rubber are very useful for preventing both heat ageing and flex cracking of rubber.
