Sodium Bicarbonate → HCID 21949692, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-(3-formylphenoxy)butyrate (5.0 g, 21.2 mmol) was dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane (20 mL). Subsequently, 3-(4-fluorophenoxy)propylamine (4.65 g, 27.5 mmol) was added thereto, and the resultant mixture was stirred for 20 minutes. Subsequently, sodium triacetoxyborohydride (95%, 7.1 g, 31.8 mmol) and small amount of acetic acid were added thereto, and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. A saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution was added thereto. The reaction mixture was extracted with chloroform, and the organic layer was washed with brine. The resultant mixture was subjected to drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentration under reduced pressure, and purification by silica gel chromatography (chloroform/methanol=30/1), whereby the target compound was obtained (6.7 g, 81%).
