Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 10.0 g of LAH, in 500 mL of dry THF, at room temperature, was added portionwise 39.7 g of 1-isopropylpiperidine-4-carboxamide, and the mixture was refluxed 18 h. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with 150 mL THF and treated dropwise with 10 mL H2O and 10 mL 5 N NaOH, respectively. Gray mixture was refluxed 18 h, filtered and evaporated. Residue partially dissolved in hexane to give 25.5 g of crude yellow liquid and 6.9 g hexane insoluble starting carboxamide. HPLC purification of 25.5 g liquid with 20% MeOH-EtOAc/Silica Gel gave 1-isopropylpiperidine-4-methylamine (8.5 g, 28%).
