Reaction Steps

In a similar fashion, 2,4,6-trimethylcinnamonitrile was treated with diisobutyl aluminum hydride and the intermediate aluminum-imine complex treated with (R)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine. The intermediate imine was treated with ethanolic sodium borohydride. Work-up and chromatography yielded (R)-N-[3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)prop-2-enyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine, 12D, as a clear, colorless oil; m/z (rel. int.) 309 (M+, 8), 294 (25), 174 (82), 159 (100), 135 (52), 129 (29), 105 (21), 91 (17), 77 (14).
