Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 15157490, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 78 mg (2.1 mmol) of NaBH4 in 2 ml of water at 0° C. is added over 3 minutes a solution of 250 mg (0.515 mmol) of the title product of Example 17 in 3 ml of tetrahydrofuran (THF). After 30 minutes at 0° C., the mixture was permitted to warm to room temperature, and a further 2 ml each of water and of THF were added. After one hour, the reaction mixture was acidified with 3N hydrochloric acid, and the mixture was extracted with three portions of ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), the drying agent removed by filtration, and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. Crystallization of the residue from 50% ethyl acetate/hexane gave the title compound (150 mg), m.p. 131.5°-132.5° C.
