Acetic Anhydride → HCID 67777582, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of acetic anhydride (0.126 mL) was added dropwise to a solution of diastereomer of 2-(5-{[(2S)-2-aminopropyl]oxy}pyridin-2-yl)-2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-6-ol (500 mg) in pyridine (15 mL) at ambient temperature. After being stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hr, the mixture was diluted with methanol (15 mL) and 4 M sodium hydroxide (10 mL). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 15 hr. The organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the aqueous solution was acidified with 4 M hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (350 mg).
