The solution was then hydrogenated at 50°C. and 5 atmospheres pressure overnight. The catalyst was filtered off and the volume of the solution reduced by evaporation. The hydrobromide of 1-(3',5'-diacetoxyphenyl)-2-(t-butylamino)-ethanol with 1 mole of water was precipitated by the addition of ether. M.p. 108°-111°C. The protective acetyl groups may be removed by boiling the 1-(3',5'-diacetoxyphenyl)-2-(t-butylamino)-ethanol hydrobromide with 1% hydrobromic acid for three hours. After evaporation and drying the product was recrystallized as described in Example 2c.
