Reaction Conditions:

with sodium tetrahydridoborate in methanol at 5; for 2.75 h;Heating / reflux;

Steps:

5

p-Anisaldehyde (25.0 g, 0.1836 mol), 4-methoxybenzylamine (25.3 g, 0.1836 mol) and toluene (150 mL) were combined in a 500 mL round bottom flask which was fitted with a condenser and Dean-Stark trap under a N₂ atmosphere. The solution was refluxed for 3 hours during which time 3 mL of H₂O was azeotroped away from the reaction mixture. The reaction was cooled and concentrated on a rotovap at 40⁰C for 2 hours. The clear, yellow oil was taken up in MeOH (150 mL) in a 500 mL round bottom flask fitted with a condenser under a N₂ atmosphere. The reaction was cooled to 5°C, and NaBH₄ was added in small portions over 45 min (off-gassing occurred). The reaction was slowly heated to reflux with vigorous off-gassing. After 2 hours at reflux, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and concentrated on the rotorvap at 30⁰C for 2 hours, and then placed under high vacuum at 3O⁰C for 1 hour to give the title compound as a white crystalline solid (47.13 g, quantitative yield; 98.6 % purity by HPLC). MH⁺ = 258.1
