Sodium sulfate decahydrate → 1-(3-Tert-butyl-phenyl)-4-methylene-cyclohexylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(1-azido-4-methylene-cyclohexyl)-3-tert-butyl-benzene (820 mg, 3.04 mmol) in diethyl ether (10 mL) was added to a heterogeneous mixture of lithium aluminum hydride (510 mg, 13.4 mmol) in diethyl ether (10 mL) and was placed into a preheated oil bath at 40° C. After heating at reflux for 24 h, the solution was cooled to ambient temperature, and celite and sodium sulfate decahydrate was added. After stirring for 1 h, the heterogeneous mixture was filtered through celite to yield 1-(3-tert-butyl-phenyl)-4-methylene-cyclohexylamine.
