Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 4-methylphenylacetone (1.56 g) and 2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethanamine (1.81 g) was refluxed in benzene (70 ml) under Dean & Stark conditions for 4 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, replaced with ethanol (100 ml) and the solution hydrogenated using Pt as catalyst. The filtered solution was evaported and the residual oil chromatographed on Kieselgel 60 (150 g). Elution with 1% methanol-chloroform gave the title compound (1.8 g) as an oil. Crystallisation from hexane gave 1.26 g as a 56:44 mixture of diastereoisomers, mp 76-78.
