Reaktionsschritte

A suspension of lithium aluminium hydride (3 g, 0.08 mols) in 350 ml of anhydrous ether is added with 0.5 g of 3-(2-hydroxy-5-methyl-phenyl)-N,N-diisopropyl-3-phenyl-propionamide in portions. The mixture is refluxed while stirring for 4 days. Afterwards, water is carefully added to destroy the lithium aluminium hydride excess, the mixture is acidified to pH 5 with acetic acid, the ether phase is separated and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent is evaporated to obtain an oil which is purified by flash chromatography (eluent hexane-ethyl acetate 7:3). 0.1 g of tolterodine free base are obtained.
