Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was synthesized from 1-phenylcyclohexane-carbaldehyde (126 mg, 0.67 mmol) and methyl amine (370 μL, 0.73 mmol, 2.0 M in THF) according to General Procedure H, followed by HCl salt formation. The HCl salt was recrystallized from CH3CN to give pure N-methyl(1-phenylcyclohexyl)methanamine hydrochloride (8 mg, 6%) as colorless crystals. HPLC Rt=7.76 min; 1H NMR (400 mHz, MeOH-d4) 7.43-7.38 (m, 4H), 7.28-7.25 (m, 1H), 3.11 (s, 2H), 2.50 (s, 3H), 2.25-2.22 (m, 2H), 1.67-1.23 (m, 8H); LC-MS 6.37 min, (M+1)+ 204 @ 6.62 min.
