The reaction mixture was cooled and aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added thereto. After the precipitates were filtered off with celite-precoated glass filter, the solvent was distilled off from the filtrate under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated brine, dried over potassium carbonate and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to give 2.30 g of crude 2-(4-benzyloxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylethylamine.
