Reaction Steps

4-Phenoxybenzaldehyde (10.0 g, 0.05 mol), excess methylamine and 1.5 g of 10% Pd/C in 200 mL of methanol were stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen for 16 hours. After removal of the catalyst by filtration through a filter and (CELITE®), the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product as an oil. Chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate gave the title compound in 80%.
