Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a cold (−20° C.) solution of 1-tert-butyl 3-methyl 5,6-dihydro-1,3(2H)-pyridinedicarboxylate (700.0 mg, 2.90 mmol) in dry toluene (40 mL) was added a solution of diisobutylaluminum hydride in toluene (1.5M, 4.83 mL, 7.25 mmol) dropwise under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min and then stirred at room temperature. The reaction was quenched by an addition of water and the stirring was continued for additional 1 hr. The precipitated aluminum salts were filtered off. The filtrate was diluted with saturated NH4Cl solution, extracted with ethyl acetate. The separated organic phase was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to give tert-butyl 5-(hydroxymethyl)-3,6-dihydro-1(2H)-pyridinecarboxylate, which was used for the next reaction without further purification. (580.0 mg, yield 94%)
