Procedure

A suspension of 24 g. of 4'-(dimethylamino)-3',5'-dimethoxy-2-(methylsulfonyl)-acetophenone and 12.1 g. of sodium borohydride in 260 ml. of alcohol was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours, whereby a solution was obtained. After the addition of 260 ml. of water, the alcohol was evaporated under vacuum. The precipitate was removed by filtration with suction, washed with water and recrystallized from ethyl acetate, whereby there was obtained 4-(dimethylamino)-3,5-dimethoxy-α-[(methylsulfonyl)-methyl]-benzyl alcohol having a melting point of 147°-148° C.
