Procedure

A suspension of 26 g. of 4'-amino-3',5'-diethoxy-2-(methylsulfonyl)-acetophenone in 350 ml. of ethanol and 350 ml. of water was treated with a solution of 7.0 g. of sodium borohydride in 90 ml. of water. There was also added 0.5 g. of sodium hydroxide. The mixture was stirred for 17 hours at room temperature, cooled with ice, diluted with 500 ml. of water and filtered under vacuum. After recrystallization from methanol, there was obtained 4-amino-3,5-diethoxy-α-[(methylsulfonyl)-methyl]-benzyl alcohol having a melting point of 166°-168° C.
