Reaction Steps

A solution of N-benzyl-N′-pyren-1-ylmethylene-hexane-1,6-diamine (420 mg, 1.00 mmol) and sodium borohydride (190 mg, 5.00 mmol) in methanol (10.0 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. The solvent was removed under vacuum, and the residue was dissolved in chloroform and washed with water, and dried over magnesium sulphate. The solvent was removed and the residue was dried under vacuum to give a yellow oil (386/mg, 92%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ/ ppm 1.32 (4H, m, (CH2)2), 1.45 (2H m, BnNCCH2), 1.55 (2H, m, PyCNCCH2), 2.55 (2H, t, BnNCH2), 2.75 (2H, t, PyCNCH2), 3.75 (2H, s, PhCH2), 4.50 (2H, s, PyCH2), 7.15-7.25 (5H, m, Ph-H), 7.95-8.10, 8.15-8.22, 8.37 (4H, 4H, 1H respectively, m, m, d, Py-H). 13C NMR (CDCl3)δ/ppm 27.35, 30.16, 49.46, 50.02, 51.94, 54.13, 54.13, 123.19, 124.72, 125.00, 125.09, 125.89, 126.89, 127.03, 127.50, 127.64, 128.14, 128.40, 129.06, 131.34, 134.15; m/z (EI) 420 ([M])+, 7%).
