Reaktionsschritte

13.2 g of 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-m-dithiane-2-proprionic acid, 4 g of triethylamine and 180 ml of tetrahydrofuran are cooled to 0° C and treated dropwise within 10 minutes with 5.44 g of chloroformic acid isobutyl ester in 80 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The mixture is then held at room temperature for 3 hours and treated at 0° C with 7.25 g of homoveratrylamine in 40 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The suspension is left to stand at 3° C for 48 hours, then evaporated, treated with water and extracted with ether/methylene chloride (3:1). The ethereal extracts are washed with water, sodium bicarbonate solution, 1-N tartaric acid and water. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated. The residue is crystallized from methylene chloride/ether at 0° C. There is obtained N-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-m-dithiane-2-propionamide of melting point 135°-136° C.
