The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with dichloromethane 3 times. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate; the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1) to yield 2-[benzyl-(3-furylmethyl)amino]ethanol.
