Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

LAH powder (1.6 g) was added to a flask while under N2 atmosphere, immediately followed by THF (50 ml). The mixture was chilled to 0° C., methyl 2-morpholin-4-yl-propionate (5 g) was added dropwise to the reaction mixture and stirred at 0° C. After 1 h, the mixture was worked up by adding H2O (44 mL), 2N NaOH (44 mL), then H2O (44 mL, 3×). After 30 min of stirring, the mixture was filtered through Celite® and the organic portion was concentrated in vacuo providing 2-morpholin-4-yl-propanol as a colorless oil.
