Reaction Steps

A pyrex bomb tube was charged with 2.02 g (10 mmol) of (E)-N,N-diethyl-4,4-dimethoxy-3-methyl-2-butenylamine, 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 83.2 mg (0.10 mmol) of [η4 -bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene][(S)-(6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-biphenylylene)-bis(diphenylphosphine)] rhodium (I) tetrafluoroborate. After degasifying the mixture, the tube was sealed and heated at 90° C. for 56 hours in a bomb tube oven. The red-brown solution was evaporated and the residue was distilled in a bulb-tube at about 70°/0.2 mmHg. There was obtained (1E,3S)-N,N-diethyl-4,4-dimethoxy-3-methyl-1-butenylamine; purity according to gas chromatography 70%; [α]D20 =-12.9° (c=4.05% in hexane). The corresponding (S)-4,4-dimethoxy-3-methylbutanal has a rotation [α]D20 =-23.3° (c=4.66% in hexane); purity according to gas chromatography 96%.
