Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N,N,3-trimethyl-3-thiophene carboxamide (1.3 g) in dry diethylether (50 ml) was added to a slurry of lithium aluminium hydride (0.3 g) in dry diethylether (100 ml) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour and then water was added. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to give the title compound (0.75 g) as a colourless oil. The picrate salt was formed in ethanol m.p. 155°.
