Reaction Steps

To 2 g N-methyl-N-(1-naphthylmethyl)-3-butyn-amine in abs. tetrahydrofurane (THF) are added dropwise, at -70°, 5.6 ml of a 15% by weight solution of n-butyllithium in hexane and half an hour later, at -70°, 0.95 ml diethylketone. The mixture is stirred for 3 hours at room temperature, poured onto ice and extracted with ether. The organic phase is washed, dried and evaporated in vacuum. The title compound (Compound 25) is obtained as an oil by chromatography over silica gel (with toluene/ethylacetate 3/1).
