Sodium Hydroxide → 4-[2-(3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridin-1-yl)-ethyl]-aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.5 g (11.1 mmol) of tin dichloride dihydrate are added at ambient temperature to a solution of 1.5 g (6.46 mmol) of 4-[2-(3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridin-1-yl)-ethyl]-nitrobenzene, prepared analogously to Example 254, in 7 ml of glacial acetic acid and 2.5 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The mixture is heated for 4 hours to 100° C., then another 2.5 g (11.1 mmol) of tin dichloride dihydrate are added and the mixture is heated for 12 hours to 100° C. After cooling the solvent is eliminated in vacuo and the residue taken up in water. The mixture is made alkaline with 4N sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with dichloromethane. After removal of the solvent in vacuo the product is obtained as an oil.
