Methanol → 4-Benzyl-1-[1-(4-hydroxyphenylcarbonyl)ethyl]-pyridinium bromide

関与物質

反応手順

In the condensation step, the condensation reaction between 2-bromo-4'-hydroxypropiophenone and 4-benzylpyridine is smoothly promoted in the presence of methanol and/or ethanol whereby a ketone compound of the general formula: ##STR2## i.e. 4-benzyl-1-[1-(4-hydroxyphenylcarbonyl)ethyl]-pyridinium bromide is formed in the reaction mixture. The time and the temperature adopted for the condensation reaction are usually 3-6 hours and 60°-90° C., respectively. The reaction mixture thus obtained is directly subjected as such, without isolating the above condensation product, to the catalytic reduction in the subsequent step. In this case, an additional amount of methanol and/or ethanol may be supplied to the reaction mixture.
