Reaktionsschritte

Acetophenone (29.1 ml, 0.25 mol), para-formaldehyde (12.0 g, 0.40 mol) and dimethyl amine hydrochloride (28.5 g, 0.35 mol) are suspended in ethanol (50 ml). Concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.5 ml) is added and the mixture is heated to reflux for 4 h. Then acetone (200 ml) is added and the resulting clear solution is allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The precipitate is collected by filtration and crystallized from ethanol yielding the title compound (40.7 g, 76.0% of theoretical yield) as colorless crystals with mp. 158° C.
