Reaction Steps

The title compound (11.12 g, 88%) was prepared from 2-(dimethylamino)-2-ethylbutanenitrile D19 (8.05 g, 0.0575 mol) and phenyllithium in dibutylether (64 ml of a 1.8M solution; 0.115 mol) in THF (350 ml), followed by reaction with sodium borohydride (3.9 g, 0.103 mol) in methanol (300 ml) in a similar manner to that described in D5. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 0.72 (3H, t, J=7.6 Hz), 0.97 (3H, t, J=7.6 Hz), 1.40-1.68 (4H, m), 1.70 (2H, br, m), 2.43 (6H, s), 4.09 (1H, s), 7.19-7.43 (5H, m).
