Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of β-(9,10-dihydro-9,10-methano-9-anthryl)propionitrile (250 mg) and lithium aluminum hydride (100 mg) in dioxane (12 ml) was stirred at 60° C. for 5 hours. Excess lithium aluminum hydride was decomposed by addition of water. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness to give 9-γ-aminopropyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracene, which was converted into its hydrochloride. M.P. 275° C. (decomp.).
