Procedure

Borane-tetrahydrofuran complex (280 mL, 1 M, 280 mmol) was added to a magnetically stirred solution of 3-bromo-4-(2-methoxyethoxymethoxy)-benzonitrile (10 g, 35 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 30 minutes. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and 1 N HCl was added very slowly until the pH was acidic. The tetrahydrofuran was removed by evaporation and the residual aqueous layer was washed with ethyl ether. The aqueous extract was basified with 2 N sodium hydroxide until alkaline pH and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated by evaporation to give 3-bromo-4-(2-methoxy-ethoxymethoxy)benzylamine (5.6 g).
