The starting material can be prepared as follows: By the reaction of ethyl 5-chloromethylbenzo[b]furan-2-carboxylate (Chem. Abstr., 1959, 3185d) with excess sodium cyanide in dimethylformamide there is obtained, in a yield of 90% of theory, ethyl 5-cyanomethylbenzo[b]furan-2-carboxylate (m.p. 74°-76° C. after recrystallisation from ethyl acetate) which is hydrogenated in the presence of platinum oxide to give ethyl 5-(2-aminoethyl)-benzo[b]furan-2-carboxylate. From an ethanolic solution thereof, with an ethereal solution of hydrogen chloride there can be precipitated out the hydrochloride; m.p. 188°-190° C.; yield 64% of theory.
