Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[2-[[(2R)-2-(5,6-dichloro-3-pyridyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amino]ethyl]phenol (850 mg) in acetic acid (15 ml) and water (1.0 ml) were added tetramethylammonium bromide (5.2 mg) and zinc dust (509 mg), and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 10 hours under nitrogen. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane/ethyl acetate=2/1) to give 4-[2-[[(2R)-2-(5-chloro-3-pyridyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amino]ethyl]phenol (500 mg) as a colorless oil.
