Reaction Steps

To a mixture of LAH (0.019 g, 0.499 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added 1-benzyl-4-methylpyrrolidine-3-carbonitrile (0.050 g, 0.250 mmol, Tyger) at about 0° C., then the resulting mixture was stirred at about 25° C. for about 4 h. EtOAc (2 mL) and water (3 mL) were added and the precipitate formed was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated to give (1-benzyl-4-methylpyrrolidin-3-yl)methanamine (0.05 g, 39%): LCMS (Table 2, Method 1) Rt=0.22 min.; MS m/z: 205 (M+H)+.
