A mixture of (2,3-dimethylphenyl)glycidic ether and t-butylamine in ethanol is
heated at reflux for 6 h. The solvent is removed, the residue is washed with
water and then extracted with benzene. The dried extract is evaporated to
give 1-t-butylamino-1-(2,3-dimethylphenoxy)-2-propanol, melting point 71-
72°C (crystallized from isopropanol).
