Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6.5 g of [2-(3,4-diethoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-carbamic acid tert.-butyl ester in 20 mL DCM were added 5 mL of TFA at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 30 min when another 5 mL of TFA were added. After stirring for further 2 h, 1M NaOH solution was dropwise added. The mixture was extracted twice with DCM, washed with water and brine. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to yield 4.3 g of 2-(3,4-diethoxy-phenyl)-ethylamine as yellow oil.
