Methanol → N-(3-phenoxy)propionyl-prolinol

참여 물질

반응 단계

A mixture of N-(3-phenoxy)propionyl-proline methyl ester (2.8 g) and sodium borohydride (950 mg) was suspended in tertiary butyl alcohol (40 ml). To the stirred suspension, dry methanol (8 ml) was added dropwise under reflux. Thereafter, the mixture was stirred under reflux for 1 hour. The heated mixture was cooled to room temperature and water (10 ml) was added under cooling with ice. Methanol and tertiary butyl alcohol were distilled off under vacuum and the residue was subjected to extraction with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under vacuum and the resulting crude product was purified by medium-pressure liquid column chromatography on silica gel (solvent: chloroform) to obtain the end compound as an oil (2.3 g).
