Procedure

To a stirred solution of methyl 1-cyanocyclohexanecarboxylate (2 g, 11.96 mmol) in anhydrous THF (40 mL) at rt was added portionwise LiAlH4 (1.36 g, 35.88 mmol). The reaction vessel was sealed and the mixture was heated at 80° C. for 5 h. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and water (1 mL), 1M aq NaOH (1 mL), and water (3 mL) were added sequentially. To the resulting mixture were added DCM and saturated aq sodium potassium tartrate, and the mixture was stirred for 3 h. The organic layer was separated and further washed with brine. The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford (1-(aminomethyl)cyclohexyl)methanol (1 g) which was not purified further. LCMS (ESI) m/z 144 (M+H)+.
