Procedure
To a solution of 4-[2-(methyl-2-pyrimidylamino)ethoxy]benzaldehyde (16.6 g) in methanol (40 ml)-tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) was added sodium borohydride (1.22 g) in portions at 0° C. After stirring for 1 hour, water was added to the reaction mixture and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residual crystals were recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to obtain 4-[2-(methyl-2-pyrimidylamino)ethoxy]benzylalcohol (15.3 g, yield 91%) as colorless crystals. m.p. 73-74° C.
