Reaction Steps

To the above propanamide (1.32 g, 5.6 mmol) in 10 ml of THF at 0° is added dropwise 0.97M BH3 -THF (35 ml) over 40 min. The solution is heated under reflux overnight and is then allowed to sit at RT for 48 hours, after which 10 ml of water is added dropwise over 30 min., followed by dropwise addition of 20 ml of aqueous 5N HCl. The THF is removed by distillation, and the aqueous phase is saturated with NaOH pellets and extracted with ether (3X). The combined organic layers are washed with water and with brine, dried and solvent removed to give 2-[4-(1-methylpropoxy)phenoxy]propylamine.
