Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9-(3-oxo-2-morpholinylmethyl)-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracene (100 mg) and lithium aluminum hydride (50 mg) in dioxane was stirred at 60° - 70° C. for 3 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-(2-morpholinylmethyl)-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracene, M.P. 183° - 189° C. Recrystallization gave colorless crystals, M.P. 189° - 190° C.
