Acetic Acid → HCID 3077668, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 15 ml of acetonitrile were dissolved 904 mg (2.55 mmol) of Compound 28 and 1 ml (12.3 mmol) of 37% aqueous formalin followed by gradual addition of 271 mg (4.30 mmol) of sodium cyanoborohydride at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and, then, adjusted to pH 7.2 with acetic acid. The reaction mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 45 minutes, at the end of which time the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with 2N sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer was washed with 0.1N sodium hydroxide solution once and, then, extracted with 1N hydrochloric acid twice. The aqueous layer was adjusted to pH 7.8 with 1N sodium hydroxide solution and re-extracted with 4 portions of methylene chloride. The pooled organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent was distilled off. Finally the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform-methanol=10:1) to give 244 mg (26.0%) of Compound 45 as colorless oil.
