Procedure
To a solution of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (8.4, 94 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (150 mL) and acetic acid (4.3 mL, 77 mmol) was added 4-methoxy benzaldehyde (11.5 mL, 94 mmol). After stirring for 10 min, sodium triacetoxyborohydride (49.9 g, 235.5 mmol) was added portion-wise over 20 min. The resulting mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 2 h then cooled to room temperature and quenched with saturated NaHCO3. The aqueous layer was washed with dichloromethane and made basic by the addition of 10N NaOH. The product was extracted with ethyl acetate, concentrated and crystallized from Et2O/hexane to give the title compound as a white solid (11.95 g, 61% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 7.32-7.20 (2H, m), 6.86-6.80 (2H, m), 3.76 (3H, s), 3.58 (2H, s), 3.30 (2H, s), 1.11 (6H, s). LCMS (M+H) calcd for C12H20NO2: 210.14; found: 210.20.
