Aluminium lithium hydride → HCID 20356910, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-hydroxy-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-3-one (2.6 g, 18 mmol) in 60 ml of anhydrous THF was added 55 ml of LAH (1.0 M in THF). After the mixture was refluxed under N2 for 24 h, it was cooled to rt and quenched with 2 ml of water, followed by 2 ml of 15% NaOH and 6 ml of water. The suspension was then stirred with MgSO4 and filtered. The filtrate was acidified with 1.0 M of HCl in ether and then concentrated to afford 3.2 g of 2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-5-ol as the HCl salt.
