Procedure

To a stirred solution of N-benzyl-N-(4-hydroxycyclohexyl methyl)amine (8.5 g, 0.039 mol) in methanol (300 ml) under N2 was added ammonium formate (9.8 g, 0.0155 mol), followed by 10% palladium on carbon (1.0 g). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 3 hours, cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2, filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to afford 1.3 g of 4-hydroxycyclohexylmethylamine.
