Aluminium lithium hydride → 1,3-Dioleyloxy-2-propylamine

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In 3 ml of tetrahydrofuran was suspended 8 mg (0.2 mmol) of lithium aluminum hydride. While this suspension was maintained under ice-cooling, 125 mg (0.2 mmol) of 1,3-dioleyloxy-2-propyl azide was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was then poured in ice-water and extracted with ether. The extract was washed with water, dried, and concentrated. The residue was subjected to column chromatography (silica gel/methylene chloride-methanol) to provide 104 mg (89%) of the title compound as colorless oil.
