Procedure

A solution containing 442 g. of N,N-dimethyl 3-phenyl-3-hydroxypropylamine in 5 l. of chloroform was saturated with dry gaseous hydrogen chloride. 400 ml. of thionyl chloride were then added to the chloroform solution at a rate sufficient to maintain reflux. The solution was refluxed an additional 5 hours. Evaporation of the chloroform and other volatile constituents in vacuo yielded N,N-dimethyl 3-phenyl-3-chloropropylamine hydrochloride which was collected by filtration, and the filter cake washed twice with 1500 ml. portions of acetone. The washed crystals weighed about 500 g. and melted at 181°-183° C. with decomposition. An additional 30 g. of compound were obtained from the acetone wash by standard crystallization procedures. The structure of the above compound was verified by NMR and titration.
