Reduction of 3-chloropropiophenone (I) with NaBH4 produced 3-chloro-1-phenyl-1-propanol (II). Subsequent Mitsunobu coupling of (II) with 2-(methylthio)phenol (III) in the presence of DEAD and PPh3 afforded ether (IV). Finally, substitution of the halogen of (IV) for methylamine provided the corresponding secondary amine.
