Procedure
A solution of 10.0 g 1-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-methanone in 30 ml 48% hydrobromic acid was heated at reflux for 21 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into aqueous sodium bicarbonate and the precipitate filtered. Recrystallization from 150 ml of methanol gave 7.3 g of white solid, m.p. 199°-200° C.
