Reaction Steps

The requisite starting amine was prepared as follows: reaction of n-octanoic acid and 1,1'-carbonyldi(1-imidazole) in tetrahydrofuran solution with 3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propanamine gave N-3-(1H-imidazolyl) propyl-n-octanamide, which upon reduction with BH3 in tetrahydrofuran solution gave N-(3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl) propyl-N-(n-octyl))amine.
