Reaction Steps

An equal molar amount of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)propylamine (prepared in a similar fashion from 4-chlorobenzaldehyde as above) 3′-methoxyacetophenone and 1.25 molar equivalents titanium(IV) isopropoxide were mixed 4 hr at rt and the intermediate imine treated with an ethanolic sodium cyanoborohydride (5 ml of I M, 5 mmol). Work-up and chromatography afforded N-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)propyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine, 6V, as an oil; m/z (rel. int.) 303 (M+, 8), 288 (91), 196 (4), 164 (10), 135 (100), 125 (61), 103 (21), 91 (21), 77 (18).
