Tetrahydrofuran → [3-Fluoro-4-(morpholin-4-yl)phenyl]methanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a THF (30 mL) suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (975 mg), a THF (10 mL) solution of 3-fluoro-4-(morpholin-4-yl)benzonitrile (4.41 g) was added dropwise at −78° C. Then, the reaction solution was allowed to be warmed to room temperature and agitated overnight. The reaction solution was cooled to 0° C. after confirming disappearance of the starting materials, water and 5N sodium hydroxide solution, and also ethyl acetate were added to the reaction solution one by one, and the organic layer was partitioned. After the obtained organic layer was washed with a saturated saline solution, it was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (Carrier: Chromatorex™ NH, elution solvent:ethyl acetate=1:1→heptane-ethyl acetate), and 3.60 g of the title compound was obtained. The physical properties of the compound are as follows.
