Citric Acid → HCID 57476293, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl (2-{7-[methyl(2-thienylsulfonyl)amino]-1H-indol-2-yl}-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-5-yl)acetate (0.21 g), lithium borohydride (20 mg) and tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was added methanol (2 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. Aqueous citric acid solution was added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (182 mg, yield: 96%) as pale-yellow crystals. A part of the crystals was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to give pale-yellow crystals. MS: 422 (MH+). melting point 174-175° C.
