Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-acetyl-2-methyl-6-(2-morpholinoethylcarbamoyl)-4-(3-nitrophenyl)pyridine (3 g) in methanol (30 ml) was added sodium borohydride (0.28 g) under ice-cooling. After stirring for 1 hour at same temperature, the solution was poured into a mixture of ice water (50 ml) and chloroform (50 ml). The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. After evaporating the solvent, the residue was recrystallized from a mixture of ethanol and ethyl acetate to give 3-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-6-(2-morpholinoethylcarbamoyl)-4- (3-nitrophenyl)pyridine (1.53 g).
