Procedure
To a solution of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethan-1-one (1 eq) and phenylmethylamine (1 eq) in methanol was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.2 eq). The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 h. The mixture was concentrated and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was concentrated and preparative purification yielded [(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]benzylamine. MS: MH+=256.
