To a mixture of 4-n-octylaniline (0.205 g; 1 mmol) and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-one (Helvetica Chimica Acta, 2003, 86, 2467; 0.13 g; 1 mmol) and NaBH(OAc)3 in 1,2 dichloroethane (3.5 ml), AcOH (0.06 ml; 1 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for 2 h at room temperature under N2, diluted to 20 ml with Et2O and washed with 1N NaOH, H2O, brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified crystallization from hexane to give the title compound (0.2 g; 63%) as a colourless solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) 6.97 (d, 2H, J=8.4 Hz); 6.54 (d, 2H, J=8.4 Hz); 4.1 (dd, broad s, 3H, J=4.2, 11.9 Hz); 3.74 (dd, 2H, J=4.2, 11.9 Hz); 3.4 (m, 1H); 2.47 (t, 2H, J=7.91 Hz); 1.55 (m, 2H+H2O); 1.46 (s, 3H); 1.43 (s, 3H); 1.25 (m, 10H); 0.86 (m, 3H).
