反応手順

A mixture of 16 g. (88 mmol) of 3,4-dimethyoxyphenylethylamine and 13.5 g. (88 mmol) of p-methoxystyrene oxide is heated with stirring under argon on a steam bath overnight. A sample is withdrawn from the reaction mixture and chromatographed on a silica column, eluting with benzene ethyl acetate to isolate the pure product in crystalline form. To the remainder of the reaction mixture is added 100 ml. of ethyl acetate-hexane (1:1) and seeded with the crystalline product, with stirring and chilling. Filtration furnishes the product N-[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]-2-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine, m.p. 92° C.
