Procedure

Combine 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine (9.6 mL, 66.1 mmol), THF (300 mL), Et3N (11.0 mL, 78.9 mmol), and methyl chloroformate (26.0 mL, 339 mmol) at 0° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. Stir at room temperature for 18 hours, add the mixture into water, wash with brine, and dry the organic layer over Na2SO4 followed by concentrating under reduced pressure. Flash chromatograph using 2:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate to afford 13.6 g, 65.0 mmol (98% yield) of the title compound: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3); 2.8 (2H, t, J=6.7, 7.0 Hz), 3.41-3.46 (2H, m), 3.7 (3H, s), 3.8 (3H, s), 4.6-4.8 (1H, br s), 6.7-6.8 (3H, m), 7.2-7.3 (1H, m); MS m/z 210 (M+1).
