Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The above amide (1 equiv) is dissolved in dry THF and the solution is cooled to −78° C. Solid LAH (0.5 equiv) is carefully added. The reaction mixture is then immersed in an ice-bath at 0° C. and stirred 30 min. The reaction is quenched by the addition of EtOAc followed by water. The mixture is diluted with Et2O and the layers are separated. The organic is washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, decanted and concentrated to yield 3-(piperid-1-yl)-propanal which is used immediately in the next step.
