Procedure

1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)propan-2-one (3.10 g) and 2-hydroxy-2-(3-bromophenyl)ethanamine (4.08 g) were condensed and subsequently reduced with sodium borohydride (3.8 g) by an analogous procedure to that described in Example 1. The crude product was recrystallised from diethyl ether-hexane to give N-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]-2-hydroxy-2-(3-bromophenyl)ethanamine, mp 79°-83° C., as a 47:53 mixture of diastereoisomers.
