Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.0 g. of lithium aluminum hydride in 20 ml. of dry ethyl ether is stirred at room temperature as a solution of 5.0 g. of ethyl (4-hexadecylaminophenyl)acetate in 15 ml. of dry ethyl ether is slowly added. When the addition is complete, the reaction is stirred for an additional 2 hours and then quenched with 10% aqueous ammonium chloride.
