Reaction Steps

A sample (1 g) of N,N-dimethyl-1-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]-3-methylbutylamine hydrochloride which had been dehydrated in vacuo at 70° C. for 7 hours was treated with an organic solvent specified below (x ml) and then water (y ml) was added. The mixture was boiled and the resulting solution allowed to cool to ambient temperature and then stored at 4° C. for three hours. In Examples 10 and 11 the solution was stored at ambient temperature for 18 hours and crystallisation initiated by reducing the volume of the solution under a stream of air. A solid was collected by filtration, washed with the organic solvent and dried in vacuo at ambient temperature for 18 hours to give N,N-dimethyl-1-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]-3-methylbutylamine hydrochloride monohydrate the melting point of which is given below.
