Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 2 (2.5 g, 0.01 mol) in EtOH (25 mL) was added NaBH4 (3.75 g, 0.1 mol) at room temperature in small portions over 30 min. The reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 2 h and then cooled to 0° C. where it was triturated with dilute HCl (10% soln.). The resulting solid precipitated was filtered and washed with water and MeOH to provide 3a (2.326 g, 92%). 1H NMR (DMSO-D6): δ 5.58 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 5.78 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.33-7.89 (m, 6H), 7.95 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1W, 8.22 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 12.29 (s, 1H); 3C NMR (DMSO-D6): δ 77.44, 118.81, 120.15, 124.28, 125.04, 125.67, 126.34, 128.46, 128.64, 128.95, 133.27, 135.62, 136.12, 139.93, 148.55, 163.69.; MS (ES+): m/z 250.1 (M+1); Anal. Calcd for C16H11NO2: C, 77.10; H, 4.45; N, 5.62. Found: C, 77.01; H, 4.57, N, 5.59.
