Procedure

A mixture of 2-benzyl-3-dimethylaminopropanol (4.2 g), dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (4.6 g) and cuprous chloride (0.2 g) is maintained at 80° for 40 hours. 4-Trifluoromethylphenol (5.0 g) is added, and the mixture maintained at 130° for 12 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled and ether (100 ml) is added. The insoluble material is filtered off and the filtrate extracted with 2N hydrochloric acid (3×100 ml). The acidic solutions are combined and made basic by the addition of concentrated aqueous ammonia. The aqueous solution is extracted with ether (3×150 ml), and the combined extracts dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the ether as a yellow oil. This material is converted to the oxalate salt by dissolving in ether and adding the calculated quantity of oxalic acid dihydrate in ether. Filtration gives N,N-dimethyl-2-benzyl-3-(4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)propylamine oxalate, m.p. 147°-149°.
