Aluminium lithium hydride → 4-(3-Methylbutyl)piperazin-1-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(3-methyl-butyl)-N'-nitrosopiperazine (3 g.) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (30 ml). was added dropwise to a stirred suspension of lithium aluminium hydride (0.65 g.) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (100 ml.) under nitrogen at 50°. After 30 minutes, the mixture was cooled and worked up in the usual manner to give crude N-(3-methylbutyl)-N'-amino-piperazine (2.5 g.) used without purification in the next step.
