Procedure
41.4 g of dry AlCl3 (310.4 moles), 230 ml of toluene and 20.0 g of 5,6-dimethoxy-2-methylaminotetralin HCl (77.6 moles) are placed into a 4-necked round-bottomed flask, with stirring, under a slight stream of dry nitrogen. Temperature is brought to 80° C. to obtain a stirrable brown mixture, is left at 80° C. for 4 hours, then cooled to room temperature and poured into ice-water (about 1000 ml total). The aqueous phase is separated and evaporated under vacuum (T about 80° C.). The whitish solid is triturated at room temperature in 750 ml of absolute ethanol, then dried at 60° C.
