Reaction Steps

A mixture of phenylethylamine (20.0 g, 0.165 mol) and formic acid (49.4 ml, 1.309 mol) was slowly heated to 200° C. Excess water and formic acid were distilled off in the process. The mixture was then kept at 200° C. for 1 hour, and the product was distilled under reduced pressure, giving a colourless oil (22.0 g, 0.147 mol, 89%).
