Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Add neat 1-ethylpiperazine (5.6 kg) to a mixture of 6-bromo-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde (8.3 kg) and DCM (186 kg). Then, add sodium triacetoxyborohydride (10.9 kg) in portions and stir at 20-30° C. for 12 h. Quench the reaction into a mixture of DCM (36 kg) and aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide 2 N (46 kg). Separate the layers and extract twice the aqueous layer with DCM (24×2 kg). Combine the organic layers, wash with brine (50×2 kg) and remove the solvent under vacuum to afford 11.5 kg of the title compound. MS (ES+): m/z=285 (M+H)+.
