Reaction Steps

1 g of hexahydro-3a-(m-methoxyphenyl)-1,1-dimethyl-indolinium iodide is dissolved in 40 ml of water. The solution is applied to a column containing 50 g of Amberlite IRA 400 (pre-treated with sodium hydroxide; washed with distilled water until neutral). Thereafter, the column is eluted with 500 ml of distilled water. After distillation of the water, the hexahydro-3a-(m-methoxyphenyl)-1,1-dimethyl-indolinium hydroxide remaining as the residue is heated at 170° C. in a distillation apparatus in a high vacuum, an oil distilling over. This oil still contains, besides rac. 1-(m-methoxyphenyl)-N,N-dimethyl-2-cyclohexene-1-ethylamine, a relatively small amount of hexahydro-3a-(m-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylindoline.
