Sodium Hydroxide → 1-{1,4-Dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl}methanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,4-dioxaspiro[4,5]decan-8-one (10.0 g) and acetic acid (4.4 ml) in dichloromethane (128 ml) were added methylamine hydrochloride (5.19 g) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (16.3 g), and stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hours. After completion of the reaction, 4 N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (90 ml) was added thereto, and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated to give (1,4-dioxaspiro[4,5]dec-8-yl)methylamine as an orange oil (11.0 g).
