Procedure
This compound was prepared by reduction of α-hydroxy-N-(1-methylethyl)-β-(2-methylphenoxy)benzenepropanamide (1.8 g.) with borane-tetrahydrofuran complex (1 M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 13 ml.) and subsequent treatment with hydrochloric acid as described in Example 24. The crude product was purified by recrystallization from tetrahydrofuran. The product melted at 193°-195°, and weighed 0.75 g.
