Reaktionsschritte

Powdered lithium aluminum hydride (137 mg, 3.61 mmol) was added portionwise to a solution of 2-methyl-2-phenylpropanenitrile (436 mg, 3.00 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at 80° C. overnight. The reaction was then cooled to 0° C. and water (66 μL, 3.7 mmol), 10% sodium hydroxide (1.44 g, 3.6 mmol) and water (195 μL, 10.8 mmol), respectively, were added dropwise into the reaction mixture. The suspension was filtered through anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solution was concentrated under vacuum to give 2-methyl-2-phenylpropan-1-amine (400 mg) as a yellow oil, which was used for the next step without further purification.
