Procedure
To an ice-cold solution of 3-(tert -butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)benzonitrile (4.5 g, 18 mmol) in THF (47 mL) was added LiAlH4 (27 mL, of a 1 M solution in THF, 27 mmol), and the reaction mixture was stirred at reflux for 3 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C., and the reaction was quenched with water (25 mL) and 15% NaOH in water (75 mL). The reaction mixture was filtered, concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in EtOAc. The organic solution was washed with water and then brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 3-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)benzylamine (1.4 g, 30%) as a clear oil: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.22-7.10 (m, 4H), 4.57 (s, 2H), 3.74 (s, 2H), 0.84 (s, 9H), 0.09 (s, 6H).
