Reaktionsschritte

4'-Chloro-3-dimethylaminopropiophenone is prepared by treating 4'-chloro-3-dimethylaminopropiophenone hydrochloride with aqueous base to remove the HCl. The free amine is extracted into diethyl ether and recovered by evaporation of the solvent. The hydrochloride salt is prepared by the method of Maxwell in Org. Synth. Coll. Vol. III, 305-306. Thus, a mixture of 4-chloroacetophenone, dimethylamine hydrochloride, and paraformaldehyde is refluxed for 2-4 hours in 95% ethanol with a small amount of added hydrochloric acid. The solid product is obtained after adding acetone and cooling overnight.
