Hydrochloric Acid → 6-(4-Chloro-1-butenyl)-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril

Participants

Reaction Steps

4.0 Grams of 6-(4-chloro-1-oxobutyl)-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril was disposed in 200 ml of methanol, and the suspension was stirred at a room temperature. Then 2.0 g of sodium borohydride was added to the suspension gradually and the reaction was continued for 1 hour. Next, 3 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was concentrated under a reduce pressure with heat-refluxing condition to obtain a residue. The residue was extracted with chloroform and the chloroform layer was washed with water and dried. Then chloroform was removed by distillation under a reduced pressure to obtain a residue, and the residue was recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 2.4 g of 6-(4-chloro-1-butenyl)-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril in yellow needle-like crystals. Melting point: 153°-155° C.
