Abstract
Industrial process for obtaining an aryloxypropanolamine of chemical name 1-[4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenoxy]-3-[(1-methylethyl)amino]-2-propanol, characterized in that it comprises the following operating phases. By reacting 4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenol with epichlorohydrin in an alkaline aqueous medium at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 25.degree. C. a crude reaction product composed to the extent of 75-80% of 3-[4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenoxy]-1,2-epoxypropane and to the extent of 15-20% of 1-[4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenoxy]-3-chloro-2-propanol is obtained, after the appropriate extractions and washings, both compounds being suitable for reacting with isopropylamine in an aqueous medium and at temperatures ranging between 0.degree. and 30.degree. C. to obtain the desired aryloxypropanolamine of formula I.
