Procedure: Next, to a solution of lithium aluminum hydride (0.91 g, 24 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (60 mL) was added a solution of the resulting 4-phenylaminomethyl-benzonitrile (2.0 g, 9.61 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL), and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Water was added to the reaction solution, which was then extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated to obtain the title compound (1.98 g, 97%) as a yellow oil. This compound was used in the next reaction without purification. was then extracted with ethyl acetate dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate the solvent was evaporated
