Procedure

To a stirred solution of methyl 3-{[(2-methoxyethyl)(methyl)amino]methyl}-5-methylbenzoate (180 mg, 0.72 mmol) in methanol (2 mL), tetrahydrofuran (1 mL), and water (1 mL) is added lithium hydroxide (302 mg, 7.2 mmol) and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure, dissolved in methylene chloride, filtered, and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the title compound. ESI MS m/z 238 [M+H]+.
