Titanium isopropoxide (6.2 mL, 20.7 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 h. Sodium borohydride (1.17 g, 31 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred for an additional 1 h. The reaction was quenched by pouring into 10% ammonium hydroxide solution (25 mL), ethyl acetate was added and the solids were removed by filtration, the pad was washed once with ethyl acetate and the solvent was concentrated in vacuo to give N-ethyl-2-methyl-2-(4-nitrophenyl)propan-1-amine (2.25 g, 98%). LC/MS (ESI+) 223 (M+H)+.
