Procedure

A mixture of 5 g. of ethyl p-[(7-phenylheptyl)amino]benzoate (prepared as described in Example 34), 5 g. of KOH and 50 ml. of ethanol-water (9:1) is refluxed for 3.5 hours. The mixture is acidified while hot with concentrated hydrochloric acid, diluted with H2O, chilled and filtered. The solid is washed with H2O to give off-white crystals, m.p. 123°-126° C. Recrystallization from ethanol gives tan crystals, m.p. 123.5°-125° C.
