Sodium sulfate decahydrate → HCID 86697504, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminum hydride (1.00 g, 26.4 mmol) was suspended in anhydrous dioxane (40 ml). To the suspension, an anhydrous dioxane (10 ml) solution of (trans-3-oxodecahydroquinoxalin-1-yl)acetic acid ethyl ester (2.35 g, 9.78 mmol) was added dropwise with stirring at room temperature, and the mixture was then stirred under reflux for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled on ice, and sodium sulfate decahydrate was added thereto in small portions until no gas was generated. This mixture was filtered through celite and washed with methylene chloride, and the filtrate was then concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 2-(trans-decahydroquinoxalin-1-yl)ethanol (1.74 g, yield: 97%) in a brown oil form.
