Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of lithium aluminum hydride (0.30 g) in ether (10 ml) was added a solution of 2-(m-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid N,N-dimethylamide (0.900 g) in ether (15 ml) under ice-cooling, and the resulting mixture was stirred under reflux for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, admixed with a 10 % aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (20 ml) and extracted with ether. The ether extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated to afford N,N-dimethyl-2-(m-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylcyclopropylmethylamine as an oily substance. M.P. 188° - 190° C. (hydrochloride).
