Boron trifluoride etherate → 1-(Tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-YL)cyclopropanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Combined tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carbonitrile (1.000 g, 9.00 mmol) and titanium (IV)isopropoxide (2.90 mL, 9.90 mmol) in ether (45.0 mL), then ethylmagnesium bromide (6.60 mL, 19.79 mmol) was added and the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was stirred for an additional 30 minutes and boron trifluoride etherate (2.280 mL, 18.0 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred for 2 hours. The reaction was then diluted with 10 mL water and 20 mL 1 N HCl and extracted twice with 200 mL EtOAc. The organic layers were combined and concentrated to afford the title compound (850 mg, 53.5%) as a yellow oil.
