Reaction Steps

(4-Benzylamino-3-methyl-cyclohexylmethyl)-phenyl-amine (160 mg, 0.52 mmol) and ammonium formate (164 mg, 2.60 mmol) in EtOH (5 mL) is treated with 10% Pd/C (30 mg) and heated at reflux for 2 hours. The Pd/C is removed by filtration and washed with MeOH. The filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound which is used without further purification.
