Reaction Steps

The title compound (3.90 g; 47%) was prepared from 1-[methyl(phenylmethyl)amino]cyclopentanecarbonitrile D28 (6.0 g; 28 mmol) and phenyllithium in di-n-butylether (16.21 ml of 1.9M solution; 30.8 mmol) in THF (60 ml), followed by reaction with sodium borohydride (3.2 g; 84 mmol) in methanol (60 ml) in a similar manner to that described in D2. Mass Spectrum (Electrospray LC/MS), API+: Found 295 (MH+). C20H26N2 requires 294. Ret. time 2.12 min.
