Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-ethylamine (80.3 g, 0.443 mol) and o-chlorobenzaldehyde (62 g, 0.443 mol) are boiled (1 hour) in toluene (500 ml) using a water separator. The reaction mixture is evaporated, the oily residue is taken up in methanol (500 ml) and combined, under vigorous stirring and intensive cooling, with a solution of sodium borohydride (16.9 g, 0.443 mol) in water (50 ml). After it has all been added, the resulting mixture is stirred (1 hour) at ambient temperature, concentrated in vacuo and the residue is distilled in vacuo. Yield: 108.8 g. Bp16.9 Pa : 188°-190° C.
