Tetrahydrofuran → HCID 67009976, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen gas stream, 2.50 g (65.8 mmol) of lithium aluminum hydride was added to tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) under ice cooling, and a tetrahydrofuran (70 mL) solution of 8.50 g (32.9 mmol) of 2-(2-methoxybenzylamino)nicotinic acid was added dropwise to the above solution. The resulting mixture was stirred for one hour at room temperature. Ethyl acetate was added to the reaction mixture, and then 26.4 mL of a 10% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide was added thereto. Insoluble materials were filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated, and the residue thus obtained was dissolved in ethyl acetate, dried, filtered, and concentrated. Thus, 8.18 g (yield: quantitative) of the title compound was obtained as a pale yellow viscous product.
