3-Pyridinecarboxaldehyde → 1-(4-Ethylpiperazin-1-yl)-3-[(3-pyridyl)hydroxymethyl]isoquinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(4-ethylpiperazin-1-yl)-3-bromoisoquinoline (0.39 g) obtained in Example 28-2, in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) was cooled to −78° C., followed by the dropwise addition of 2.5M n-BuLi (0.6 ml). Fifteen minutes later, a solution of 3-formylpyridine (0.2 g) in tetrahydrofuran (3 ml) was added dropwise thereto. The temperature of the reaction solution was gradually raised to room temperature. The reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, water and an aqueous solution of saturated sodium chloride, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride/methanol system), to give the title compound (0.15 g) as a pale yellow oil.
