Procedure

Following the method of Example 1,2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-propyloxiran was prepared from trimethylsulphoxonium iodide, 3-methoxybutyrophenone and sodium hydride. The oxiran was treated with 33% ethanolic methylamine affording 3-methoxy-α-[(methylamino)methyl]-α-propylbenzenemethanol isolated as the hydrochloride salt m.p. 168°-70° C.
