(Trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane → 2-(Pyrrolidin-1-yl)-5-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)-pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

According to Reference Example 8-12, by use of 6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (173 mg, 0.982 mmol), (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (174 μL, 1.18 mmol), tetrabutylammonium fluoride (a 1.0 mol/L solution in tetrahydrofuran, 98.0 μL, 0.098 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (5.0 mL), the mixture was stirred and reacted at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, slurry purification was performed using hexane, to give 2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-5-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)-pyridine (Compound DH) (227 mg, yield: 94%).
