Aluminium lithium hydride → HCID 18457678, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 6-phenylpipecolinate (0.23 g) in THF (15 mL) was treated with 1M lithium aluminum hydride in ether (10 mL) at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with EtOAc, then MgSO4 was added and the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to give a residue, which was purified by chromatography on silica gel plates (2, 1000 μm) using EtOAc:hexane 1:1 as the eluent, to give (6-phenyl-piperidin-2-yl)-methanol as a white solid (0.06 g).
