Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 68855063, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 3.8 g (100 mmol) of lithium aluminium hydride in 400 ml of THF were added in batches, with stirring and at room temperature, 14.4 g (20 mmol) of 1-(3,5-dibromo-D-tyrosyl)-4-(1-piperidinyl)-piperidine within 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was kept for 30 minutes at room temperature and refluxed for 2 hours and then neutralised by the careful addition of 1 ml of water and 5.1 ml of concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid. After the addition of 100 ml of methanol the solid precipitate was suction filtered and the filtrate was evaporated down in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (MN-silica gel 60, Macherey-Nagel, 70-230 mesh ASTM, eluant: methylene chloride/methanol/conc. aqueous ammonia=8/2/0.2 (v/v/v)). 5.4 g (57% of theory) of the desired product was obtained as an amorphous solid.
