Procedure

To a mixture of tert-butyl 2-(benzylamino)ethylcarbamate (2.8 g, 11.2 mmol) and 37% aqueous CH2O (1.0 mL, 11.2 mmol) in 1,2-dicholoroethane (35 mL) at RT was added NaHB(AcO)3 (3.7 g, 11.2 mmol). The mixture was stirred (RT, 16 h), diluted with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (400 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×300 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford tert-butyl 2-(benzyl(methyl)amino)ethylcarbamate (1.38 g, 46.8%). 1HNMR (CDCl3): δ 7.25 (m, 5H, CH), 3.5 (s, 2H, CH2), 3.3 (m, 2H, CH2), 2.48 (m, 2H, CH2), 2.2 (s, 3H, CH3), 1.4 (s, 9H, CH3).
