Ammonium Chloride → HCID 68709854, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium borohydride (20 mg, 0.53 mmol) was added to a mixed solution of 3-[2-(3,4-diethoxyphenyl)thiazole-4-yl]-1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanone (458 mg, 1.11 mmol) in THF (10 ml) and methanol (10 ml) at room temperature, and the resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour. A saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/n-hexane=2/1). The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was recrystallized from a diethyl ether/n-hexane mixed solvent, to thereby obtain 336 mg (yield: 73%) of 3-[2-(3,4-diethoxyphenyl)thiazole-4-yl]-1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanol as a white powder.
