Procedure

To a solution of LAH (0.62 mg, 16.30 mmol) in anhydrous ether (100 ml) was added N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-N-(2-cyanoethyl)-N',N'-dimethyl-1,4-diaminobutane 324 (2.22 g, 8.10 mmol) in anhydrous ether (50 ml) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for thirty minutes. The excess LAH was quenched with 1N NaOH at 0° C., and the resulting suspension was filtered through Celite and washed with ether. The combined ether layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo to yield a crude product. The crude product was purified on a flash silica gel column and eluted with chloroform:methanol:isopropylamine (15:1:1) to give N-(3-aminopropyl)-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-N',N'-dimethyl-1,4-diaminobutane 325 (1.30 g, 59% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 1.40 (9H, s, t-Bu), 2.15 (6H, s, --N(CH3)2), 2.22 (2H, m), 2.65 (2H, t), 3.20 (4H, m).
