Procedure: To a solution of 20 g. (0.10 mole) of 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid in 100 ml. of benzene was added dropwise 70 ml. (115 g., 0.98 mole) of thionyl chloride. The solution was heated to 50° C. for two hours, then evaporated in vacuo to give a residue of 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetyl chloride. A solution of 21.4 g. (0.10 mole) of the acid chloride in 70 ml. of chloroform was added with stirring to a solution of 70 ml. of chloroform and 22.2 ml. (30.0 g., 0.30 mole) of N,N-di-(n-propyl)amine at 0° C. The resulting mixture was heated at 50° C. for two hours, cooled, diluted and washed with dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute sodium carbonate solution and water. The dried chloroform solution was evaporated in vacuo to give N,N-di(n-propyl)-3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetamide. evaporated in vacuo

Procedure: While cooling with ice, a solution of 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid chloride (485.2 g) in methylene chloride (1.1 liters) is added dropwise at 15° to 20° C. to a solution of aminoacetaldehyde dimethylacetal (246.2 ml) and triethylamine (315 ml) in methylene chloride (2.2 liters) of and the mixture is stirred for 1 hour at 16°-18° C. It is then extracted several times with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated. The oil obtained slowly crystallizes out.

Procedure: Thionyl chloride (600 ml) is added dropwise, with stirring, over a period of 2 hours, to a suspension of 3,4-dimethoxy-phenylacetic acid (549.4 g) in methylene chloride (600 ml). After the development of gas has ended (16 hours) the mixture is refluxed for a further hour. After the highly volatile components have been removed the residue is distilled in vacuo.
