Sodium borohydride → HCID 86671310, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-bromo-3-fluoropicolinaldehyde (4.0 g, 19.61 mmol) and (R)-2-amino-3-methylbutan-1-ol (2.281 mL, 20.59 mmol) were dissolved in methanol (100 mL) and stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Sodium borohydride (0.742 g, 19.61 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for another 1 hour and 30 minutes. The volume of the reaction mixture was reduced, and the mixture was quenched with 200 mL 1.0 N NaOH, and extracted with 200 mL dichloromethane (2×). The organic phase was extracted with 1.0 N HCl and partitioned. The aqueous phase was separated, neutralized with 3.0 N NaOH, extracted with EtOAc, organic phase separated and washed with brine. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to obtain the title compound as an orange solid.
