This compound may be prepared by the reductive amination of acetophenone under various standard conditions for this type of reaction. One major route for this chemical uses the Mignonac reaction, a one-pot protocol using hydrogen gas as the reducing agent:[2]
The Leuckart reaction, using ammonium formate, is another method for this transformation.[3][4]
