3-phenylpropionaldehyde (0.23 ml), sodium cyanoborohydride (117 mg) and acetic acid (one drop) were added to a solution of ethyl 3-[4-(2-aminoethoxy)phenyl]-2-butylpropionate (500 mg), which is the product of Reference example 6, in ethanol (10 ml). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water and the layers were separated. The ethyl acetate solution was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified via chromatography on silica gel column using dichloromethane/methanol=19/1 as the eluant to afford the desired compound (460 mg) as a pale yellow oil.
