Reaction Steps
A stirred solution of 4-[3-[4-methoxy-2-[[(2-phenylethyl)imino]methyl]phenoxy]propyl]morpholine (41.7 g) in 190 ml of methanol is reduced with 12.4 g of sodium borohydride (added portionwise). A cold water bath is used to maintain the temperature of the reaction mixture at 35° C. After 3 hours, the solvent is treated with water and the product is extracted two times with ether. The ether fractions are combined, treated with water, dried and concentrated to give 33.3 g of the title compound, boiling point 249°-254° C. at 0.3-0.4 mm of Hg.
