Sodium borohydride → HCID 22935720, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-phenyl-N-quinolin-4-ylacetamide (2 g) and Nickel dichloride (7.6 mmol) in methanol, cooled at 0° C., was added sodium borohydride (20 eq). The solution was then stirred overnight, at room temperature. The solvent was removed to give an amorphous materiel, which is crystallized in diethyl ether. After fitration, dichloromethane was added and the solution was washed with water. The organic layer was separated and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed to obtain an amorphous material. The product was purified by chromatography on silica gel using a mixture of cyclohexane and ethyl acetate (95:5) as eluent to give a N-phenyl-N-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-4-ylacetamide (380 mg).
