Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 178499257, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cold (0° C.) solution of 5-Bromo-3-[(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-(4-oxo-cyclohexyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (5.9 g, 12.9 mmol) in 50 ml of MeOH under a positive N2 add NaBH4 (250 mg, 6.4 mmol, 0.5 eq.) portion wise (approx. 30 minutes). After the addition is completed, check for reaction completion by TLC Hexane:EtOAc 1:1). Add 10 ml of HCl 2% and stirred for 15 min. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum to dryness. The reaction mixture was recuperated with water (25 ml) and extracted with EtOAC. The organic phases were combined and dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using EtOAc:hexanes as eluent to obtain 5-Bromo-3-[(trans-4-hydroxy-cyclohexyl)-(trans-4-methyl-cyclohexane-carbonyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (4.5 g, 77% yield) as a solid.
