Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 8.33 g of 2-methyl-2-morpholino-propionic acid amide in 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran is slowly added at room temperature to 3.33 g of lithium aluminium hydride in 85 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture is then stirred for a further 2 hours under reflux. The reaction mixture is cooled and then 5 ml of water, 6.67 ml of 2N sodium hydroxide and a further 5 ml of water are added in succession. The suspension is clarified by filtration and the crude title compound is obtained from the concentrated filtrate: 1H NMR (CDCl3), δ(ppm)=3.67 (4H, m), 2.52(2H, s), 2.48 (4H, m), 1.37 (2H, bs), 0.92 (6H, s).
