Participants

Reaction Steps

5.6 g (0.0187 mol) of 2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]-1-phenylethanone are diluted in 50 mL of methanol. 50 g of molecular sieves 3 Å, 14.4 g (0.187 mol) of ammonium acetate and 2.45 g (0.037 mol) of sodium cyanoborohydride are then consequently added. The pH is adjusted to 5-6 with acetic acid (1 mL). After of 4 days of reaction at room temperature, the medium is filtered and 1M aqueous sodium hydroxide is added until pH=12. 150 mL of ethyl acetate are added, after separation, the aqueous phase is extracted twice with 150 mL of ethyl acetate.
