Monomethylamine methanol → HCID 68410819, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(3-Formyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)benzamide (303 mg) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) and methanol (3 mL), and 40% methylamine-methanol solution (1.1 mL) was added at room temperature. After stirring for 18 hr, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in methanol (3 mL), sodium borohydride (118 mg) was added under ice-cooling and the mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, water was added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by basic silica gel column chromatography (eluent:hexane-ethyl acetate=1:1→ethyl acetate) to give a free base of the title compound as a pale-yellow amorphous form (yield 248 mg). The obtained free base was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL), and the mixture was added to a solution of fumaric acid (94 mg) in ethanol (10 mL). The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was recrystallized from ethanol to give the title compound as colorless crystals (yield 137 mg, yield 37%).
