Reaction Steps

p-Bromophenylacetonitrile is first condensed with t-butyl acrylate under conditions of the palladium acetate catalyzed Heck reaction. The resulting acrylate is hydrogenated with palladium on charcoal catalyst followed by reduction (of the cyano group) with sodium borohydride in the presence of cobalt(II) chloride to yield t-butyl p-(2-aminoethyl)-phenylpropionate.
