Aluminium lithium hydride → HCID 131714671, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the azidobenzocyclobutenylamide compound of Step 2. above (3.2 g) in THF (20.4 ml) is added dropwise to a suspension of LAH (0.93 g) in anhydrous ether (122 ml) stirred under nitrogen maintained at ice bath temperatures. The reaction mixture is refluxed for 15 hours, cooled and quenched with water (0.93 ml), aqueous sodium hydroxide (15% solution, 0.93 ml) and water (2.79 ml) and filtered. The solid is washed with ether and the combined filtrate dried, filtered, evaporated in vacuo and chromatographed (silica gel: ethyl acetate/methanol). The pure fractions are combined and evaporated in vacuo yielding an oil, which is identified as the desired product by NMR.
