The temperature of the reaction medium increases gradually and it is maintained at 80°-85° C, throughout the addition step, by cooling with water. When addition of chloromethyl methylthioether is completed, the medium is cooled to 6° C. The desired product precipitates out readily. After filtration and washing with 2×70 ml acetone, there are obtained 44.1 g 5-(2-chloro-benzyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-thieno[3,2-c]pyridine hydrochloride (Yield: 73.5%). Treatment of the filtrates provides another 10 g of the desired product (Yield: 90% M.p.=190° C.). The resulting crude product contains 1-2% impurities and may be made analytically pure by recrystallization from ethanol.
