Reaction Steps

N,N-Dimethyl-1-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]-3-methylbutylamine hydrochloride (5 g) was dissolved in a boiling mixture of toluene (126 ml) and water (12.6 ml). The solution was filtered whilst hot and the filtrate cooled. The product crystallised from the cooled filtrate and was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo at ambient temperature to give N,N-dimethyl-1-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]-3-methylbutylamine hydrochloride monohydrate (m.p. 194°-196° C.).
