Reaction Steps

6-Trifluoromethyl-1,3-dihydro-isobenzofuran-1-ol (4.12 g) is dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane (75 ml), and thereto are added 3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzylamine (5.89 g), triacetoxy-sodium borohydride (9.0 g) and acetic acid (2.3 ml), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. To the reaction solution are added a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and ethyl acetate, and the mixture is separated, and the organic layer is washed with a saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=7:3→1:1) to give {2-[(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzylamino)-methyl]-4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl}-methanol (7.06 g). MS (m/z): 432 [M+H]+
