Procedure
To a solution of N-[(4-acetylphenyl)methyl]acetamide (6.1 g) in methanol (50 ml) was added sodium borohydride (1.2 g) under ice-cooling. This reaction mixture was stirred at 5-7° C. for 2 hr. Thereto was added 2% hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml×3). The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to give a brown oil (6.3 g). The obtained brown oil was purified by silica gel column chromatography (developing solvent; chloroform:methanol=9:1) to give the title compound (5.98 g) as a pale-brown oil, m.p.=61-62° C.
