Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-N-phenylacetamide (2.0 g, 8.3 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) under nitrogen was added lithium aluminum hydride (1.59 g, 42 mmol) in small portions over a 1 hour period. After 16 hours, the reaction was poured over ice and the crude product extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to provide the title compound (1.3 g, 69% yield): EI−MS (m/z) 227.
