Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 23353984, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 1.4 g of 9-formyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)-2,5,6,7-tetrahydro-3H-thieno-[2',3':6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-c]pyridazin-3-one in methanol was added 1.0 g of sodium borohydride under ice-cooling. After stirring for an hour, the mixture was poured into diluted hydrochloric acid and extracted with chloroform. The extract was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column using chloroform as an eluent. The solid was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of ethanol and isopropyl ether to give 1.0 g of 9-hydroxymethyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)-2,5,6,7-tetrahydro-3H-thieno-[2',3':6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-c]pyridazin-3-one as a white powder, melting at 158°-159° C.
