참여 물질

반응 단계

To a solution of 3-chlorobenzofuran-2-carboxaldehyde (1.62 g, 8.9 mmol) in methanol (50 mL) is added N-methylamine (33% solution in ethanol, 1.11 g, 35.9 mmol) and stirred overnight at room temperature. The mixture is concentrated in vacuo, re-solvated in methanol (50 mL) and cooled in an ice bath. Sodium borohydride (407 mg, 10.8 mmol) is added in portions and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The mixture is concentrated in vacuo, re-solvated in 1.3M sodium hydroxide solution, stirred for 20 min, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated. Purification by column chromatography (silica, CH2Cl2/MeOH, 9/1) gave title compound (1.43 g, 82%) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.55-7.63 (m, 2H), 7.33-7.42 (m, 2H), 3.93 (s, 2H), 2.27 (s, 3H).
