Reaction Steps

27.2 g of methyl 2-[4-chloro-2-[[(methylamino) carbonyl]methoxy]phenoxy]benzeneacetate was dissolved in 800 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran and slowly added to a suspension of 8.7 g lithium aluminum hydride in 800 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at 40° C. and after addition of 35 ml of water stirred for another 1 h. The salts were removed by filtration with suction and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo, to give 20.1 g (84%) of 2-[4-chloro-2-[2- (methylamino)ethoxy]phenoxy]benzene ethanol.
