Sodium Sulfate → (S)-2-Amino-4-(2-chloro-phenyl)-2-methyl-butan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (0.072 g, 1.9 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) was added a solution of (S)-2-amino-4-(2-chloro-phenyl)-2-methyl-butyric acid methyl ester (0.23 g, 0.95 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3 ml) and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. Sodium sulphate solution (2M, 0.3 ml) was added and the mixture was filtered through Celite. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was purified by chromatography (column: Isolute® Flash-NH2 from Separtis; eluent: ethyl acetate/MeOH=95:5) to yield a colourless oil, (0.190 g, 93%);
