Methanol → N-[5-(3-amino-4-chlorophenoxy)[1,3]thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-2-yl]acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium borohydride (2.45 g, 64.8 mmol) was suspended in ethanol (43 mL), and methanol (29 mL) was slowly added. To the obtained reaction mixture was added N-(5-{[2-(acetylamino)[1,3]thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-5-yl]oxy}-2-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (1.5 g, 3.48 mmol) powder in small portions under cooling in a water bath, and then, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL), and partitioned with water (50 mL), and the organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate (80 mL), and washed with saturated brine (80 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=40/60→100/0), and triturated with diisopropyl ether to give the title compound (0.58 g, 50%) as a white solid.
