Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5 g of α-(2,3,4-trimethoxyphenethylaminomethyl)-2-benzyloxybenzylalcohol hydrochloride, one g of 10% palladium-carbon and 50 ml of 90% aqueous methanol is shaken at room temperature in hydrogen gas atmosphere under atmospheric pressure. After hydrogen uptake is completed, insoluble materials are removed by filtration, and the filtrate is condensed. The residue thus obtained is recrystallized from a mixture of ethanol and ether. 3.4 g of α-(2,3,4-trimethoxyphenethylaminomethyl)-2-hydroxybenzylalcohol hydrochloride are obtained. M.p. 133°-134° C. Yield: 85%
