Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine 6-(4-Formyl-phenoxy)-nicotinic acid ethyl ester (0.62 g, 2.29 mmol), MeOH (12 mL), Trimethylorthoformate (8 mL), and Phenethylamine (0.26 mL, 2.06 mmol). After the reaction stirs at room temperature under a Nitrogen atmosphere for 3.5 hours, add NaBH4 (251.0 mg, 2.75 mmol). After the reaction stirs at room temperature for 12 hours, concentrate under reduced pressure and add the mixture to a 5 g SCX column. Wash the column with MeOH and elute with 1N NH3 MeOH to afford 854.0 mg (99% yield) of the title compound: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3); 2.8 (2H, t), 2.8-3.0 (4H, m), 3.8 (2H, s), 3.9 (3H, s), 6.9 (1H, d), 7.1-7.4 (9H, m), 8.3 (1H, d), 8.8 (1H, s); MS m/z 377 (M+1).
