Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl octahydro-2H-quinolizine-3-carboxylate (2.35 g, 11.1 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (1 M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 33 mL, 33 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) at 0° C. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The mixture was cooled in an ice bath and ethyl acetate (6 mL) was added slowly, followed by water (1.25 mL), 15% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (5 mL) and water (1.25 mL). The mixture was filtered through a pad of celite and washed with ether. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and dried rigorously to afford octahydro-2H-quinolizin-3-ylmethanol as a yellow oil (1.66 g, 9.82 mmol, 88% yield). MS (EI) for C10H19NO: 170 (MH+).
