Reaction Steps

The title compound was synthesized in analogy to example S3-C using 4-tert-butylbenzaldehyde (1000 mg, 6.17 mmol), ethanolamine (371 μl, 6.17 mmol) and sodium borohydride (350 mg, 9.25 mmol). The desired product (1190 mg, 93%) was isolated without further purification as a colourless oil. MS (ISP) 208.3 (M+H)+.
