Sodium borohydride → 5-(5-fluoro-4-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-3-yl)-3-methylbenzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium borohydride (6.3 mg, 0.17 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-Fluoro-5-(3-methyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-benzooxazol-5-yl)-pyridine-4-carbaldehyde (47 mg, 0.17 mmol) in THF (0.5 mL) and water (0.1 mL) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Brine was added to the reaction mixture. The resulting mixture was diluted with DCM and water. The organic layer was separated, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column (MeOH—CH2Cl2, v/v, 0-3%) and afforded the title compound (7 mg, 16%); ESI-MS m/z: 275 [M+1]+, Retention time 0.92 min; 1HNMR (MeOD, 400.3 MHz) δ 3.44 (s, 3H), 4.59 (s, 2H), 7.32 (dd, J=8.0, 1.2 Hz, 1H), 7.35 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H), 7.38 (d, J=80 Hz, 1H), 8.39 (s, 1H), 8.48 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H).
