Procedure

A solution of [4-(4-phenylcarbamoylmethoxyphenyl)butyl]carbamic acid benzyl ester 18 (0.30 g, 0.69 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL), THF (6 mL), and acetic acid (2 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 2 h under hydrogen atmosphere in the presence of 10% Pd/C catalyst (0.2 g, 50% wet). The catalyst was removed by suction filtration and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash silica gel column chromatography eluting with CH2Cl2/methanol/concentrated ammonium hydroxide (30:1:0, 30:1:0.3, v/v) to give the desired amine 19 as a white solid (200 mg, 97% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ 1.60 (m, 4H), 2.55 (m, 2H), 2.70 (m, 2H), 4.60 (s, 2H), 6.88 (d, 2H), 7.15 (m, 3H), 7.35 (m, 2H), 7.58 (d, 2H), 8.25 (s, 1H). m/z (ESI): 299 [C18H22N2O2+H]+.
