Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the above crude 3-(3-furyl)propanal, 7.94 ml (106 mmol) of allylamine and 2.54 ml (42.3 mmol) of acetic acid in 100 ml of methanol, 1.33 g (21.2 mmol) of sodium cyanoborohydride was added at room temperature, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 day. The reaction mixture was poured into aqueous sodium hydroxide and extracted with dichloromethane 3 times. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate; the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate to ethyl acetate/methanol=4/1) to yield the desired product.
