Procedure

In 75 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran was dissolved 3.81 g of 9-benzylamino-3,4-dihydroacridin-1(2H)-one with mechanical stirring. The solution was cooled in ice under N2 and 5.9 ml (0.5 eq) of 1.1M LiAlH4 solution in ether was added dropwise. After 0.5 hour the reaction was complete based on thin layer chromatography analysis. The excess hydride was neutralized with 0.5 ml of saturated NH4Cl solution and the inorganic salts were extracted into 30% potassium hydroxide. The tetrahydrofuran solution was decanted and evaporated to a solid which was recrystallized from 1:10 dichloromethane/EtOAc to yield 2.89 g (75%) of a solid, melting point 159° C.
