LiAlH,. The mixt was stirred at room temp for 29 hr. The reaction was hydrolyzed with H,O and extracted with Et,O. The Et,O soln was evapd in vacuo to yield 3.0 g of crude product. Tlc showed a number of spots (silica gel-C,H,). The crude reaction product was chromatographed on a 28 X 3 cm column of silica gel (C,H, elution, 60-ml fractions). Fractions 6-12 gave 500 mg of the starting amino ketone (15%) (nmr, ir). Fractions 22-29 (10% Et,O) gave 500 mg of product ...
