Reaction Steps

4.4 g of methyl 2-[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl]oxy-benzoate are heated in the microwave for 15 minutes at 300 W with 30 ml of 5N hydrochloric acid. The mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate, the aqueous phase is concentrated by evaporation and recrystallised from acetonitrile/ether. Yield: 4.2 g (86% of theory).
