Water → (4-Aminomethylphenyl)-benzylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Benzylamino-benzonitrile (472 mg, 2.27 mmol) described in Preparation Example 89 was dissolved at 0° C. in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL), and lithium aluminum hydride (430 mg, 11.3 mmol) was added thereto. The solution was stirred overnight at room temperature, then, at 0° C., water (430 μl ), an aqueous solution of 5N sodium hydroxide (430 μl ) and water (1.29 mL) were sequentially added to the solution. The reaction solution was filtered through Celite pad, the solvent was then evaporated in vacuo, (4-aminomethyl-phenyl)-benzylamine (475 mg, 2.24 mmol, 99%) was obtained as an oil.
