Aluminium lithium hydride → 8-Phenyloctahydroindolizin-8-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a slurry of 14 mg (0.33 mmol) LiAlH4 in 0.4 ml THF was added drop-wise a solution of 38 mg (0.165 mmol) (8R,S; 8aS,R)-8-amino-8-phenyl-hexahydro-indolizin-5-one in 0.4 ml THF at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes and then refluxed for 30 minutes, cooled in an ice bath and quenched carefully with 15 ul water, 15 ul 5N NaOH and finally with 45 ul water. Ethyl acetate was added. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to provide 30 mg (y: 84%) of the title compound as a colorless oil. (M+H+: 217.4).
