Reaction Steps

In a similar fashion, 4-isopropylcinnamonitrile 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-(4-isopropylphenyl)prop-2-enyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine, 12E, as a clear, colorless oil; m/z (rel. int.) 309 (M+, 9), 294 (7),174 (98),159 (22),135 (80), 117 (100),105 (35), 91 (37), 77 (19).
