Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 40 grams of 1-butyl 3,4,4,6-tetramethyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine prepared as described in example 7, and 177 grams of absolute ethanol was added over a 1/2 hour period 4.7 grams of sodium hydridoborate. The reaction mixture was stirred for 18 hours and the ethanol evaporated under diminished pressure. To the resulting product was added water and stirring was continued for 24 hours. The organic layer was separated, dissolved in ether, and the ethereal solution washed with diminished pressure to yield 38.5 grams of 1-butyl 3,4,4,6-tetramethyl hexahydropyrimidine.
