The solvent is evaporated and the residue is taken up in isopropylacetate (500 mL) and washed twice with water (500 mL). The org. extract is dried over MgSO4, filtered, evaporated and dried to give 3-[2-ethyl-4-(N-hydroxycarbamimidoyl)-6-methyl-phenyl]-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (40.8 g) as a pale yellow solid; 1H NMR δ 1.26 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 3H), 1.49 (s, 9H), 2.33-2.41 (m, 5H), 2.66-2.74 (m, 2H), 2.93-3.01 (m, 2H), 4.85 (s, 1H), 7.28 (s, 2H).
