Aluminium lithium hydride → HCID 59635809, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

LiAlH4 (1 M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 1.16 mL) was added to a solution of 3-(4-bromo-2-oxo-2H-pyridin-1-yl)-2-methyl-propionic acid methyl ester (0.53 g) in tetrahydrofuran (6 mL) chilled in an ice bath. After stirring the solution with cooling for 2 h, another portion of LiAlH4 (1 M in tetrahydrofuran, 0.29 mL) was added. After stirring with cooling for 1 more hour, the reaction was quenched by the addition of water. The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). The solvent was evaporated to give the title compound. Yield: 0.37 g (78% of theory); Mass spectrum (ESI+): m/z=246/248 (Br) [M+H]+.
