Procedure

A mixture of tert-butyl 2-(benzyl(methyl)amino)ethylcarbamate (1.20 g, 4.54 mmol), 10% Pd/C (0.90 g) and MeOH (60 mL) was stirred under a H2 atmosphere (0.8 MPa, RT, 16 h). The mixture was filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with saturated N3 in MeOH-DCM (0-10%) to afford tert-butyl 2-(methylamino)ethylcarbamate as a colorless oil (0.54 g, 68.3%). 1HNMR (CDCl3): δ 3.25 (m, 2H, CH2), 2.7 (m, 2H, CH2), 2.49 (s, 3H, CH3), 1.49 (s, 9H, CH3).
