Reaction Steps

The amide obtained in Example 23, above, (0.9 g, 2 mmoles) is dissolved in methanol (25 ml) and treated with 0.12 g (3 mmoles) of sodium borohydride. The mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for 2 days, poured into water and extracted with ether. The extracts are dried on magnesium sulfate, then the solvent is evaporated. The resulting residue is recrystallized in ethyl acetate to give N[4-[1-hydroxyethyl)phenyl]-3-(1-adamantyl)-4-methoxy benzamide (0.5 g, 66% yield) having a melting point of 207°-209° C.
