Procedure
A one liter three (3) necked flask fitted with a dropping funnel, mechanical stirrer and condenser is charged with 34.35 g of 4-nitrophenylacetic acid, and piperidine (16.2 g) is added dropwise over a period of 30 minutes. At the end of the addition, a 33.62 g quantity of 4-[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methylamino]benzaldehyde is added.
