Procedure

At −10° C., NaBH4 (56.7 g, 1.5 mol) was gradually added to a mixture of the crude 4-methyl-1-(phenylamino)-pentan-3-one (about 80 g) in MeOH (500 mL). After addition, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 20 min. The solvent was removed and the residue was repartitioned between water and CH2Cl2. The organic phase was separated, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The resulting gum was triturated with ether to give 4-methyl-1-(phenylamino)-pentan-3-ol as a white solid (22 g, 23%).
