Procedure
To a solution of N-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-N-(4-fluorophenyl)-aminoethyl acetate (13.51 g) in tetrahydrofuran (135 ml) was added lithium borohydride (4.15 g) and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into water (300 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to give the title compound (9.2 g) as a yellow oil.
