Procedure
A mixture of 100 g (0.55 mol) of 3,4-dimethoxyphenylethylamine and 66.2 g (0.55 mol) of styrene oxide in 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran was refluxed overnight. The solvent was removed in vacuo. About 500 ml of n-butyl chloride was added to the residue and the mixture cooled slightly. Filtration furnished N-[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]-2-phenyl-2-hydroxyethylamine, m.p. 92°-93°.
