350 mg (0.86 mmol) of 1-(3,4-bis-benzyloxy-2-methylphenyl)-2-ethoxy-2-hydroxyethanone and 198 mg (1.03 mmol) of 1,1-dimethyl-2-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)ethylamine were dissolved in 3 mL of ethanol and heated to 80° C. for 30 minutes in the presence of some molecular sieve. After cooling to ambient temperature, 33 mg (0.86 mmol) sodium borohydride was added and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was combined with ethyl acetate and washed with sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. Then the organic phase was freed from solvent and chromatographed. In order to cleave the benzyl protecting groups, the ethanolamine-thus-obtained (364 mg) was dissolved in methanol, combined with 150 mg of Pearlman's catalyst, and hydrogenated at ambient temperature and under normal pressure. The reaction mixture was filtered through CELITE® filter agent and evaporated down. Chromatographic purification of the residue with dichloromethane and methanol as eluent yielded the target compound as a beige solid. Yield: 179 mg (29%); mass spectrometry: [M+H]+=391.
