Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10 g. of ethyl p-{[(p-decyl)benzyl]amino}benzoate (prepared as described in Example 58) and 2.84 g. of potassium hydroxide in 90 ml. of 95% ethanol is refluxed for 5 hours. Concentrated hydrochloric acid is added and the mixture diluted with 100 ml. of water. Filtration gives crystals which are washed with water to give a crude product. Recrystallization from ethanol gives white crystals, m.p. 135°-136° C.
