Reaction Steps

Protect the amino function in 4,4-diethoxybutylamine by conversion thereof to a phthalimido function. Hydrolyze the resultant 1-phthalimido-4,4-diethoxybutane with 1N aqueous sulfuric acid at 25° C to obtain 4-phthalimidobutanal. Subject the compound to reductive amination using ammonium chloride and sodium cyanoborohydride in aqueous methanol at 25° C to obtain 4-phthalimidobutylamine.
