Reaction Steps

First, 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-ethylamine (181.2 g, 1 mol) and chloral hydrate (181 g, 1.1 mol) are mixed together and heated to 120° C., with stirring, for 20 minutes and any volatile components (chloroform and water) are eliminated in a water jet vacuum at an oil bath temperature of 140° C. An oil is left behind which is further processed without any purification.
