Water → 1,4-Diazabicyclo(3.2.2)nonane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,4-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonan-3-one (15.8 g, 113 mmol) in absolute dioxane (130 ml), LiAlH4 (4.9 g, 130 mmol) was added under argon. The mixture was refluxed for 6 hours and then allowed to reach room temperatre. To this reaction mixture, water (5 ml in 10 ml of dioxane) was added, by drops, the mixture was stirred for 0.5 hour and then filtered off via glass filter. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was distilled using a Kugelrohr apparatus at 90° C. (0.1 mbar) to yield 1,4-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane (11.1 g, 78%) as colourless hygroscopic material.
