Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-pentanone (1 g, 11.6 mmol) in anhydrous 1,2-dichloroethane (45 mL) is added allylamine (0.872 mL, 11.6 mmol) followed by NaBH(OAc)3 (3.44 g, 16.3 mmol) at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture is quenched with 1N NaOH and extracted with dichloromethane. The extract is dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give 1.27 g of allyl-(1-ethyl-propyl)-amine. The crude product is used as it is.
