Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10 g. of ethyl p-[p-(benzyloxy)benzylamino]benzoate (prepared as described in Example 11) 10 g. of potassium hydroxide and 200 ml. of ethanol-water (9:1) are refluxed for 4.5 hours. While hot, the mixture is acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid. Dilution with water and filtration gives tan crystals which are recrystallized from glacial acetic acid to give off-white crystals, m.p. 206°-208° C.
