Reaktionsschritte

A solution of isopropylmagnesium chloride [prepared by the reaction of magnesium (2.4 g) and 2-chloropropane (10 ml) in tetrahydrofuran (30 ml)] was added dropwise under argon at -20° C. to a solution of 2-chloropropan-1-ol (9.45 g) in tetrahydrofuran (100 ml). Magnesium (3.6 g) was added and the mixture was allowed to stand for twenty minutes and was then heated under relux in the presence of 1,2-dibromopropane for 40 minutes. 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)cyclobutanecarbonitrile (9 g) was added and the mixture was heated under reflux for 16 hours. The mixture was cooled and the supernatant liquid decanted from excess magnesium metal and treated with sodium borohydride (3 g) and propan-2-ol (100 ml). The mixture was heated under reflux for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, added to water and excess concentrated hydrochloric acid was added. The resulting solution was washed with toluene, basified and extracted with toluene. The extracts were dried and evaporated to give a residue which was distilled in a Buchi Kugelrohr apparatus (140°/0.4 mm) to give 4-amino-4-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]butan-1-ol.
