Aluminium lithium hydride → HCID 20200365, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.4 g (0.0035 mole) of N-[3-[6-phenyl)-11H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]benzodiazepine-11-yl]propyl]carbamic acid ethyl ester (from Example 29) in tetrahydrofuran under nitrogen gas was added 0.4 g (0.0105 mole) of lithium aluminum hydride and slight exothermic reaction occurred. The mixture was cooled to prevent overheating. The mixture was stirred at reflux temperature for 6 hr. Thin layer chromatography indicated only partial conversion had occurred. An additional 0.4 g (0.0105 mole) of lithium aluminum hydride was added and the mixture refluxed overnight. Thin-layer chromatography indicated the product was predominantly the title compound.
