Reaction Steps

In 200 ml of methanol was dissolved 20 g of 5-{1-hydroxy-2-[N-benzyl-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethylamino]ethyl}-2-methylbenzenesulfonamide. After adding thereto 20 ml of ethanol containing about 10% hydrogen chloride and 1 g of 10% palladium charcoal, the mixture was shaked in hydrogen gas stream. When the absorption of hydrogen stopped, the catalyst was filtered away and the filtrate was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in 100 ml of ethanol while it was hot and the solution was allowed to stand overnight in ice chamber, whereby 12.8 g of the α-type crystals of 5-{1-hydroxy-2-[2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethylamino]-ethyl}-2-methylbenzenesulfonamide were obtained as the colorless crystals. The physical and chemical properties of the product were as follows:
