Dimethyl Sulfoxide → HCID 59255486, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a dimethyl sulfoxide (49 mL) solution of 5-fluoro-2-(4-((E)-nitro-vinyl)benzyloxy)-pyridine (2.9 g, 10.6 mmol) described in Manufacturing Example 56-1-3 and acetic acid (2.9 mL) was added sodium borohydride (642 mg, 17 mmol) at room temperature while cooling appropriately. This mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. This mixture was partitioned into ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under a reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by NH-silica gel column chromatography (heptane:ethyl acetate=10:1) to obtain the title compound (1.63 g, 56%).
