Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N-Diisopropyl-3(R)-(5-acetyl-2-benzyloxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropanamine, prepared as described in Example 13.1, (3.5 g, 7.90 mmol) dissolved in dry THF was added to LiAlH4 (0.2 g, 5.41 mmol). After 2 hours of stirring, additional LiAlH4 (50 mg, 1.32 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours. The reaction was quenched and the solvent evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica (toluene-E3N 90:10) to give 2.74 g (78%) of an oil that crystallised slowly upon storage at room temperature.
