Aluminium lithium hydride → 4-cyclopropyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of this N-(4-cyclopropylphenyl)-2-methoxyacetamide in THF (20 mL) was added LAH (5.0 mL, 2.4 M in THF, 12 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction was stirred at r.t. for 2 h. The solution was diluted with water (0.5 mL) and EtOAc (30 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography (0% to 15% MeOH/DCM) gave 912 mg (79%) of the title compound as a yellow oil. [M+H] Calc'd for C12H17NO, 192. Found, 192.
