To a solution of Tyr(3-tBu)-OMe (3.0 g, 11.9 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane/water (12 ml/12 ml), sodium carbonate (1.9 g, 17.9 mmol) and then ethyl chlorocarbonate (1.26 ml, 13.1 mmol) were added under cooling with ice and stirred for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was mixed with water, extracted with chloroform, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated to remove the solvent under reduced pressure. To a solution of the thus obtained residue (3.85 g) in THF (120 ml), lithium aluminum hydride (2.83 g, 59.7 mmol) was added little by little and stirred at 60° C. for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water, stirred and then filtered with Celite for removing insoluble material. The filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The thus obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride:methanol=3:1), giving 3-(3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methylaminopropanol (T23) (1.9 g, 67%, in 2 steps).
