Reaction Steps

194 mg (5.1 mmol) of lithium aluminum hydride is added to a solution of 1 g (4.2 mmol) of 1-benzenesulfonyl-cyclopentanecarbonitrile in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature (RT) for 20 h. It is then hydrolyzed with 194 μl of water, 194 μl of a 15% soda solution and then 582 μl of water, stirred for 5 minutes, then filtered. The filtrate is evaporated and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel (dichloromethane then dichloromethane/methanol, 90/10, v/v). 420 mg of C-(1-benzenesulfonyl-cyclopentyl)-methylamine is obtained in the form of a colorless oil. (Yield=42%).
