Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(Butyl-ethyl-amino)-5-trifluoromethyl-benzaldehyde (6.5 g), 3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzylamine (7.52 g), acetic acid (2.04 ml) are dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane (50 ml), and thereto is added triacetoxy sodium borohydride (10.1 g) at room temperature and the mixture is stirred for 2 hours. To the reaction solution are added 1N-aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and methylene chloride, and the mixture is separated, and the organic layer is washed with a saturated brine and dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=19:1→4:1) to give {2-[(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzylamino)-methyl]-4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl}-butyl-ethyl-amine (10.48 g). MS (m/z): 501 [M+H]+
