Formic acid (230 g, 5.0 mol) is added dropwise to acetic anhydride (383 g, 3.75 mol) at 0° C. This mixture is stirred for 2 hours at +55° C. and subsequently cooled again to 0° C. Tetrahydrofuran (500 ml) is added at this temperature followed by 4-(2-amino-ethyl)-2-methoxyphenol hydrochloride (50 g, 0.25 mol). The resulting white suspension is stirred for 18 hours at +75° C., changing into a yellow solution. The reaction mixture is evaporated and the residue is submitted to flash-chromatography to yield N-[2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-formamide.
