Reaction Steps
A mixture of 4.0 g (0.0357 mol) potassium t-butoxide, ml of N-methylpyrrolidone, 5.0 g (0.0303 mol) of 1-phenyl-3-N-methylaminopropan-1-ol, and 7.4 g (0.0410 mol) of 1-chloro-4-trifluoromethylbenzene was heated to 40° C. and stirred for 8 hours at 40° C. The mixture was then cooled to 20°-25° C. and 40 ml of toluene and water were added. The combined toluene-phases were washed four times with 20 ml of water. Toluene was evaporated under reduced pressure yielding 5.06 g of the product.
