The catalyst was filtered off and after adding to the remaining ethanol solution 8 ml. of water, and 186 mg. of fumaric acid, the solvent was removed from the resultant solution under a reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethanol and benzene was added to the solution until the solution became slightly turbid. When the system was allowed to stand in a refrigerator, 550 mg. of a white crystalline material was formed. The crystals were recovered and recrystallized from ethanol-benzene to give 3-formylamino-4-hydroxy-α-[N-(1-methyl-2-p-tolylethyl)aminomethyl]benzyl alcohol . 1/2 fumarate . 1/2 hydrate melting at 132°-133° C. (decomposed).
