Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3.7 g of the aldehyde derivative from Example 155, 2.0 g of sodium cyanide and 10 g of activated manganese dioxide in 200 mL of methanol was added 1.0 g of acetic acid at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature, filtered on celite and extracted with ethyl acetate. The crude material (3.5 g) was purified on a short pad of silica gel giving 2.9 g (73%) of 5-[(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9-octyl-9H-dibenzo[b,d]pyrrol-6-yl)carbonyl]-2-furancarboxylic acid methyl ester as a yellow oil.
