Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4-formylbenzoic acid (2.53 g; 16.8 mmol; 1 eq), 4-morpholinoaniline (3 g; 16.8 mmol; 1 eq) and Bu2SnCl2 (510 mg; 1.68 mmol; 0.1 eq) in dry THF (20 ml) was treated with PhSiH3 (3.31 ml; 16.8 mmol; 1 eq) at room temperature for 12 h. The reaction was filtered and the solid product was washed with MeOH. The yield of the reaction was 5.25 g (99%). LRMS: calc 312.37; found: 313.2.
