Procedure
A mixture of 100 g. (0.55 mol) of 3,4-dimethoxyphenylethylamine and 66.2 g. (0.55 mol) of styrene oxide in 200 ml. of tetrahydrofuran is refluxed overnight. The solvent is removed in vacuo, about 500 ml. of n-butyl chloride is added and the mixture cooled slightly. Filtration furnishes N-[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]-2-phenyl-2-hydroxyethylamine, m.p. 92°-93° C.
