6 Grams of 5-(2-[4-chloro-benzamido]-ethyl)-2-methyl-benzoic acid in 50 ml of ethanol are boiled for 4 hours with 1.5 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid at the reflux condenser. Subsequently the alcohol is distilled off for the most part, the residue is mixed with ice, the precipitate is filtered off with suction, is treated with diluted ammonia in order to remove the acid still present and is recrystallized from diluted ethanol.
