A mixture of 8.18 g of 2-acetylthiophene, 6.66 g of dimethylamine hydrochloride, 2.9 g of paraformaldahyde and 0.31 g of concentrated hydrochloric acid in 20 ml of isopropanol was heated to reflux and stirredfor 6 hours. The mixture was then cooled to 0° and stirred for one hour more. The slurry was then filtered, and the solid was washed with cold ethanol. The washed solid was dried for 16 hours at 50° to obtain 12.5 g of 2-thienyl 2-dimethylaminoethyl ketone hydrochloride, as awhite solid. A 12.0 g portion of that intermediate product was stirred in 40 ml of ethanol at ambient temperature, and the pH of the solution was raised to 11-12 by slow addition of sodium hydroxide. A 1.03 g portion of sodium borohydride was added, and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 4 hours. Then 7.5 ml of acetone was added, and the mixturewas stirred for 20 minutes more. The mixture was then concentrated by evaporation to a white slurry, and 120 ml of methyl t-butyl ether was added. The mixture was acidified to pH 1-1.5 by addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and the solution was stirred for ten minutes. The pH was then made basic to pH 12 by slow addition of sodium hydroxide.
