Methyl 3-(3-{[(t-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-methyl}-4-methoxyphenyl)benzoate (1.943 g) was dissolved in 30 ml of tetrahydrofuran, 250 mg of lithium borohydride was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 weeks. 1N Hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction mixture which was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was removed. The residue was purified by silica gel column, to give 1.47 g of the title compound in the 3:1→1:1 hexane-ethyl acetate fraction.
