At 0° C., a solution of iodine (29.9 g, 0.12 mol) in THF (100 ml) was added dropwise to a suspension of sodium borohydride (11.1 g, 0.29 mol) and 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-N-methylacetamide (21.6 g, 0.12 mol) in THF (150 ml). After the addition was completed, the reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 16 hours. It was cooled to 0° C. Methanol (150 ml) was added dropwise. The solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in a mixture of tert-butyl methyl ether (200 ml) and a 20% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (200 ml). The phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether (2×100 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulphate. The solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica (300 g), using a mixture of DCM/methanol/25% aqueous ammonia (first: 100:10:1, then: 100:20:2, then 100:30:3) as eluent, to give 3.82 g of N-[2-(2-chlorophenyl)ethyl]-N-methylamine.
