Popis: A simple method for the preparation of N-ethyl derivatives of secondary amino tricyclic antidepressants is described, using dimethylformamide diethyl acetal as the alkylating reagent. The GC data and electron impact and chemical ionization mass spectra of N-ethyl derivatives are presented. The use of these derivatives in the quantitation of plasma levels of these drugs in clinical studies is discussed.
