Procedure
9.8 g of the 4-[4-(1-hydroxyethyl)benzyl]benzaldehyde prepared in the step (c) and 3.7 ml of methylamine (40% methanolic solution) were stirred together in 20 ml of methanol at room temperature. After one hour, the resulting mixture was cooled with ice, followed by the addition of 0.93 g of sodium borohydride. The obtained mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. 5 ml of acetone was dropwise added to the resulting mixture under cooling with ice to treat excess sodium borohydride therewith. The reaction mixture was poured into water and the resulting mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phase was washed with water and a saturated aqueous solution of common salt, dried and distilled to dryness. The residue was recrystallized from ether/isopropyl ether to give 10.2 g of the title compound as a colorless solid.
