Procedure

The imine (14 g.) in dry ether (50 ml.) was added to a suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (1.7 g.) in dry ether (50 ml.). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours, refluxed two hours and cooled. Water (1.7 ml.), 15% sodium hydroxide solution (5 ml.) and water (5 ml.) were added cautiously in succession, the mixture filtered, concentrated and the residue distilled to afford the desired amine, b.p. 79°-81° C./40 mm.
