Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a similar manner to Example 1, a mixture of 4'-chloropropiophenone (8.4 g) and 1-(3-aminopropyl)imidazole (6.3 g) was heated at 120° C. for 9 hours. The cooled mixture was dissolved in absolute ethanol (100 ml), treated with sodium borohydride (3.9 g) and boiled under reflux for 16 hours. The oil obtained after work-up was dissolved in ether and treated with ethereal oxalic acid until the mixture was just acidic. The solid was filtered off and recrystallised from ethanol to give N-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)propyl]-3-(imidazol-1-yl)propylamine oxalate, m.p. 189°-190° C.
