deprotection of benzyl on an amine

1. pd/c, hydrogenation.
known to be slow compare to benzyl ether.
acidic solvents like HCl/MeOH or AcOH was reported to give good results.

2. CAN/MeCN/water
mild condition, but works only for tertiary amine.

3. substitute the benzyl group with a carbamate, then remove the carbamate by various ways.
ex. vinyl formate ,allyl formate, trichloro ethyl formate,

4. oxidize it to benzoyl, then hydrolysis.
