Water → 2-(2-Quinolylmethoxy)-5-pyridylmethanol

참여 물질

반응 단계

Sodium hydride (60%, oily, 1.58 g) was added to a solution of 2-quinolylmethanol (6.29 g) and methyl 6-chloro-3-pyridinecarboxylate (6.78 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 ml) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured into water, which was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. Lithium aluminium hydride (1.50 g) was added to a solution of the residue in tetrahydrofuran (150 ml) at 0° C., which was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. Sodium sulfate decahydrate (12.7 g) was added to the reaction mixture, which was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The precipitate was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to obtain 2-(2-quinolylmethoxy)-5-pyridylmethanol (5.31 g, yield 50%) as colorless crystals from the fraction eluted with ethyl acetate. This was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane. Melting point: 124–125° C.
