Reaction Steps

step 3 2-Chloro-7,8-dihydro-5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyridine-3-carbonitrile (1.77 g, 9.09 mmol) obtained in step 2 was dissolved in ethanol (30 mL), acetic acid (9 mL) and zinc (2.60 g) were added thereto, and the mixture was stirred with heating under reflux for 4 hr. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, then filtered through Celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. To the obtained residue was added a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=50:50) to give 7,8-dihydro-5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyridine-3-carbonitrile (1.06 g, 73%) as a white solid.
