Following a procedure similar to that described in Example 3, but using 3.0 g of 2-amino-1-(3-bromophenyl)ethanol (prepared as described in Preparation 41), 3.67 g of methyl 4-(2-oxopropoxy)phenylacetate (prepared as described in Preparation 3), 80 ml of benzene, 60 ml of absolute methanol and 3.1 g of sodium cyanoborohydride, and then purifying the reaction product by column chromatography through silica gel, using ethyl acetate as the eluent, 3.33 g of the title compound were obtained having an Rf=0.25 (thin layer chromatography over silica gel, using ethyl acetate as the developing solvent).
