After complete addition, the mixture is stirred and refluxed for 2 hours, then it is cooled and there are successively added water (0.2 ml.), sodium hydroxide solution (2N, 0.2 ml.) and water (0.6 ml.) and stirring is continued for 15 minutes. The mixture is filtered and the filtrate is evaporated under reduced pressure to give 2-(β-phenylethyl)morpholine as an oil which may be converted to its hydrogen oxalate salt, m.p. 151°-152° C. or its hydrogen maleate salt, m.p. 120°-122° C. on recrystallisation from methanol/ethyl acetate.
