The mixture is stirred at room temperature for additional 30 minutes, and to the reaction mixture is then added a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed successively with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and a saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane ethyl acetate=4:1) to give (3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-ethyl-amine (1.52 g). MS (m/z): 272 [M+H]+
