Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 21998677, compound

A solution of 5.0 g of cyclopropane-1,1-diacetonitrile in 200 ml of methanol was cooled to -15° C., and 4.95 g of cobalt chloride hexahydrate and 4.15 g of sodium borohydride were added thereto in this order, followed by stirring at that temperature for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was made acidic by addition of 2N hydrochloric acid and then heated to room temperature, at which the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes, followed by concentration under reduced pressure. Water was added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was adjusted to pH 9 with a 5N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, followed by filtration. Chloroform was added to the filtrate, and the organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 1.63 g of the title compound, which had the following physical properties.
