Reaction Steps

The 4-[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]benzenamine (9.9 g, 38.9 mmole) is dissolved in toluene (125 ml) containing formic acid (5.0 g, 108 mole) and refluxed for one hour. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature and evaporated to dryness. Recrystallization of the residue from toluene affords 11.0 g (82%) of N-formyl-4-[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]benzenamine, mp 128°-130° C.
