Procedure
A solution of 4-butylbenzonitrile (30.09 g) in EtOH (380 mL) and HCl (4N in dioxane, 50 mL, 200 mmol) was hydrogenated at 50 psi on a Parr shaker in the presence of 10% palladium on carbon (6.09 g). The catalyst was removed via filtration through Celite® and the solution was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was suspended in Et2O and filtered to provide 4-butylbenzylamine hydrochloride as an off-white solid (32.47 g). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 7.33 (d, 2H), 7.22 (d, 2H), 4.04 (s, 2H), 2.60 (t, 2H), 1.56 (m, 2H), 1.31 (m, 2H), 0.89 (t, 3H).
