1 mol cycloxehylhydroxyphenylacetic acid methyl ester was mixed with 1 mol 2-diethylaminoethanol in presence of 1 mol sodium methylate to give cycloxehylhydroxyphenylacetic acid 2-diethylamino-ethyl ester.
5 parts by weight of it was dissolved in 50 volumes glacial acetic acid and a gaseous methyl bromide was introduced. The mixture was heated to about 50°C and crystallization of cycloxehylhydroxyphenylacetic acid diethylaminoethyl ester methyl bromide has shortly after begun.
