This paper is on the industrial synthesis process of anti-oxidant RD ((2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline polymer $(C_{12}H_{15}N)_n$. n=2-4)).The content of dimer, trimer and tetramer of RD as the inspection targets, using the orthogonal design method - take the ratios of keto-amine, the reaction time, the reaction temperatures and the ratios of catalyst acid-amine as inspect factors - to optimized the reaction condition. The results indicate that the best ratio of keto-amine is 2:1, the time of salification and condensation is 3 hours and 7.5 hours. The range of temperature of salification and condensation is $135^{\circ}C$ and $120-125^{\circ}C$, and that the best ratio of acid-amine is 0.2: 1 (the proportion is the concentration ratio for mole). Under the optimization conditions, the yield of RD was stabilized and content of RD more than 45%.
