Reaction Steps

As in Example 16, a solution of 195 g of [R-(R*,R*)]-alpha-hydroxy-N-[1-ethyl-4-(3-pyridinyl)butyl]benzeneacetamide in 1.1L of 6N HCl was treated with 104 mL of conc. HCl and then was heated at reflux for 2 days. The crude amine, obtained by the normal work up was distilled to give 109 g of (R)-alpha-ethyl-3-pyridinebutanamine, (bp 105° C./0.2 mm): [α]D25 -11.9° (c, 1.0, MeOH).
