Procedure
A twofold stoichiometric excess of 3% hydrochloric acid in methanol is added to a methanolic solution of 1.0 g. of 4-(4-biphenyloxy)-1-aminobutane. Diethyl ether is added until precipitation is complete. The product is filtered, washed with ether, air dried and recrystallized to give 4-(4-biphenyloxy)-1-aminobutane hydrochloride, m.p. 202°-205° C.
