A mixture of 70% aqueous ethylamine (50 ml) and water (100 ml) was gradually mixed with a mixture of 98% formic acid (50 ml) and water (100 ml) to give a neutral solution which was evaporated at 100° C./100 mm Hg until 180 ml of water had been collected. The residue was heated to 140° C. and 1-acetyl-1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutane (10.4 g) prepared in a similar manner to that described in Example 1 for 1-acetyl-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)cyclobutane and 98% formic acid (10 ml) were added. The mixture was heated on an oil bath at a temperature of 180°-200° C. for sixteen hours. The mixture was distilled until an internal temperature of 170° C. was obtained and this temperature was maintained for two hours. Any volatile material was removed by distillation at 160° C./20 mm and the residue heated under reflux with concentrated hydrochloric acid (15 ml) and industrial methylated spirit (IMS) (15 ml) for three hours. The IMS was evaporated on a rotary evaporator and the residue washed with ether. The aqueous phase was brought to pH 12 with sodium hydroxide and extracted with ether. The ether extract was dried and on evaporation yielded a residue which was treated with aqueous hydrochloric acid to give N-ethyl-1-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]ethylamine hydrochloride (m.p. 203°-205° C.) (Formula I (R1 =Me; R2 =H; R3 =Et; R4 =H; R5 =4--Cl; R6 =H).
