Lithium aluminum hydride → 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethan-1-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4-Chloro-phenyl)-pyrrolidin-1-yl-acetonitrile (3.52 g, 15.2 mmol; in Tetrahydrofuran (96 mL) was added Lithium tetrahydroaluminate (1225 mg, 32.28 mmol) and the reaction was refluxed over night. The reaction was quenched with H2O (1.22 ml), 2M NaOH (aq) (1.22 ml) and H2O (2.44 ml). The solid was filtered off and the reaction was concentrated, to yield 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethanamine (1.14 g, 30% yield).
