Reaction Steps

In a flame dried round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and under inert atmosphere (N2), a solution of 4-(2-methyl-[1,3]dioxolan-2-yl)-butyronitrile (2.23 g, 14.4 mmol) in dry Et2O (2.5 mL) was added to a suspension of LiAlH4 (1.36 g, 35.9 mmol) in dry Et2O (50 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux for 3 h, cooled down to rt and treated with water (2 mL), 15% aq. NaOH (2 mL) and water (4 mL). The precipitate was filtered off and washed with Et2O. The filtrate was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a light brown oil. LC-MS-conditions 02: tR=0.32 min; [M+H]+=160.29.
