Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the (R)-7-(dipropylamino)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthalenecarboxamide (8) (8.68 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran was stirred at room temperature and borane dimethylsulfide complex (10.0 M, 11.1 ml) was slowly added. When the initial reaction subsided, the mixture was heated at reflux for 2 days. The mixture was cooled in ice, and water was added dropwise. When the evolution of gas ceased, 10% hydrochloric acid (75 ml) was added, and the mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. The mixture was cooled in ice and basified with solid sodium hydroxide. The mixture was extracted with diethylether and then with 2:1 diethylether/tetrahydrofuran. The combined extracts were washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). The solvent was removed under vacuum to leave the title compound a yellow oil (8.15 g) which was used without further purification.
