Aluminium lithium hydride → 3-(7-Phenylheptyloxy)-2-hydroxypropylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A procedure similar to that described in Preparation 13 was repeated, except that 1.1 g of 3-(7-phenylheptyloxy)-2-hydroxypropylazide (prepared as described in Preparation 68), 0.287 g of lithium aluminum hydride and 50 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran were used, to give 0.82 g of the title compound having an Rf value of 0.12 (on silica gel thin layer chromatography, using a 5:1:1 by volume mixture of ethyl acetate, ethanol and triethylamine as the developing solvent).
