The reaction is maintained at reflux for one hour, and then a solution of potassium carbonate (200 g) in water (300 mL) is added dropwise with stirring. The mixture is filtered with a 1/1 dioxane/ether wash, and evaporation in vacuo of the filtrate followed by distillation affords the title compound (76 g), bp 145°-150° C. at 0.6 mm. The free amine is generally converted to the hydrobromide salt prior to use.
