Synthesis

To a solution of 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol (1 g, 11.22 mmol) and benzaldehyde (1.310 g, 12.34 mmol) in DCE (15 mL) at RT was added portionwise sodium triacetoxyborohydride (6.66 g, 31.4 mmol), and the mixture was stirred for 3 h. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. The crude product 2-Benzylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol (1.247 g, 6.96 mmol, 62 % yield) was used without further purification. LCMS (m/z): 180.0 (M+H+).
