Once complete, allowed to cool to ambient temperature and saturated aqueous NH4Cl (525 ml) was added. The resultant was extracted with EtOAc (3×500 ml), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo at 35° C. to provide 4-(4-dimethylaminomethyl-tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-phenol (intermediate 3) as a yellow solid (35.7 g, 108%) containing residual DMF and EtOAc.
