How is 3-Phenyl-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)propan-1-amine (CAS: 83891-03-6) typically synthesized?

3-Phenyl-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)propan-1-amine is typically synthesized via a multistep process involving the preparation of an appropriate phenol, followed by alkylation with an appropriate amine. The synthesis often involves the use of catalytic amounts of boron trifluoride etherate and can achieve good yields. The product is isolated by recrystallization from an appropriate solvent.
