After the reaction, the reaction mixture is decomposed by adding water thereto. The ether layer is separated and extracted with 10% hydrochloric acid (100 ml). The hydrochloric acid layer is made alkaline with ammonia and extracted with ether. The ether layer is dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent is distilled off to give crude dl-N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylethylamine (12.7 g) as an oily substance. When this substance is recrystallized from ethanol, it shows a melting point of 67°-69° C.
