Reaction Steps

To 8.29 g (20 mmol) of (2-dimethylaminoethyl)triphenyl phosphonium bromide dissolved in 25 ml of water, 10 ml of sodium borohydride (0.757 g, 20 mmol) aqueous solution was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, and then extracted with 100 ml of dichloromethane twice.
