Reaction Steps

A suspension of lithium aluminium hydride (0.38 g) and [[5-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)2-thienyl]methoxy]acetamide (2.28 g) in a mixture of dry ether (25 ml) and dry tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) was heated at reflux for 4 hr. The reaction was then quenched with water and evaporated. The residue was extracted with chloroform. The organic phase was dried and distilled to afford a colourless oil (1.6 g) b.p. 110°-120° (0.1 mm). NMR (CDCl3), 8.43, s, (2H); 7.72, s, (6H); 7.12, t, (2H); 6.46 t, (2H); 6.38, s, (2H); 5.32, s, (2H), 3-3.3, m, (2H).
