Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of cyclohexanone (6.260 g, 63.8 mmol), ethylenediamine (42.640 mL, 637.8 mmol), acetic acid (36.515 mL, 637.8 mmol), and 4 {acute over (Å)} molecular sieves (25 g) in anhydrous methanol (250 mL) was added sodium cyanoborohydride (8.017 g, 127.6 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 48 hrs, filtered to remove the solids, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in 3 N aqueous sodium hydroxide (150 mL) and extracted with methylene chloride (3×300 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with basic saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried (anhydrous sodium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated to give the crude product. The material was vacuum distilled to give the desired product as a clear liquid (4.1 g, 45%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.80-2.76 (td, 2H, J=0.9, 6.0 Hz), 2.68-2.64 (td, 2H, J=0.9, 6.0 Hz), 2.43-2.34 (m, 1H), 1.89-1.83 (m, 2H), 1.74-1.70 (m, 2H), 1.62-1.57 (m, 1H), 1.32-0.98 (m, 8H).
