Procedure

4.9 g (20 mmol) of 4-(2-bromoethyloxy)-nitrobenzene and 2.7 g (60 mmol) of dimethylamine in 50 ml of dimethylformamide are heated to 100° C. for 24 hours in a bomb tube. After removal of the solvent in vacuo the residue is taken up in water and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase is dried and concentrated by evaporation.
