Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was synthesized in analogy to (4-cyclopropylbenzyl)-[2-(4-fluoro-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-ethyl]-amine (described in example S53) using 2′,3′-dihydro-spiro-[cyclopropane-1,1′-[1H]indene]-5′-carboxaldehyde (prepared as described in example S108) (68 mg, 0.40 mmol), 2-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-ethylamine (75 mg, 0.40 mmol) and sodium borohydride (22 mg, 0.59 mmol). The desired product (120 mg, 88%) was isolated without further purification as a colorless oil. MS (ISP) 346.3 (M+H)+.
