Zusammenfassung: | PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF BENZYL ALCOHOL DERIVATIVES The invention relates to a process for the preparation of benzyl alcohol derivatives of the formula: which compounds have an excellent blood sugar lowering activity and a cardiotonic acitivity. The process comprises subjecting an .alpha.-halogenoacetophenone derivative of the formula: wherein R1 is a hydroxy group-protecting group and x is a halogen atom, and a 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine derivative of the formula: wherein R2 is an amino group-protecting group, to a condensation reaction to give an .alpha.-(3,4-dimethoxyphen-ethylamino)acetophenone derivative, followed by catalytic hydrogenation thereof directly or after converting it to an .alpha.-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethylaminomethyl)benzyl alcohol derivative. This process is found to avoid the disadvantages of the previously known processes. |
