Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(3-methoxy-phenyl)-ethylamine (50.0 g, 0.33 mol) in formic acid (60 mL) was refluxed overnight. Water (250 mL) was added and the emulsion extracted with ethyl acetate (2×150 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to give N-[2-(3-methoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-formamide (43.1 g, 73%). MS: 180.1 (M+1+).
