This mixture was then evaporated to dryness and the residue was dissolved in a small amount of ethanol and then diluted with hexane. The hydrolysis and crystallization took place in the solution to give 1.2 g of the final product, (R)-m-(trimethylacetoxy)-α-[methylamino)methyl]benzyl alcohol hydrochloride, 70% yield. mp 128°-130° C, αD25° = -36.7° (C2H5OH). ir (KBr): 3370, 2690, 2795, 2420, 1750, 1610, 1590, 1460, 1240 and 1110 cm-1. nmr (CD3COCD3.
