Procedure
In a round bottom flask aniline (2.0 g, 21.5 mmol, 2.0 mL), 2,6-lutidine (2.30 g, 21.5 mmol) and benzyl 2-bromoethyl ether (4.6 g, 21.5 mmol, 3.4 mL) were combined in DMF (10 mL) and stirred at 100° C. overnight. The reaction was allowed to cool and then diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL). This was washed with water (3×20 mL) and the organics were dried and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with petrol (A) and ethyl acetate (B) (0-50% B, 100 g, 19.5 CV, 85 mL/min) to afford 2.22 g (37%) of (2-benzyloxy-ethyl)-phenyl-amine (21) as a yellow oil. The structure was confirmed by 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δC 43.6, 68.6, 73.2, 113.1, 117.5, 127.5, 127.7, 128.4, 129.1, 138.2, 148.1.
