To a solution of 3-dimethylamino-1-(2-thienyl)-1-propanone hydrochloride (70.0 g, 0.34 mol) in 840 ml of methanol and 420 ml of water at about 0° C. was added 5N sodium hydroxide until the solution was slightly basic. To the resulting solution was added sodium borohydride (12.9 g., 0.34 mol) in portions. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature overnight. The methanol was removed in vacuo and the remaining solution was diluted with water. The solution was extracted with diethyl ether, and the solution was washed with a saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to provide 56.7 g of colorless crystals. Recrystallization of the crystals from hexanes gave 49.24 g (78%) of the title compound as colorless crystals mp=72° C.-74° C.
