Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9-(4-methyl-3-oxo-2-morpholinylmethyl)-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracene (170 ml) and lithium aluminum hydride (100 mg) in dioxane was stirred at 60° - 70° C. for 6 hours. Excess lithium aluminum hydride was decomposed by addition of water. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness to give 9-(4-methyl-2-morpholinylmethyl)-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracene, M.P. 136° - 137° C.
