Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-phenoxynicotinic acid (2.0 g) in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml), 9.5 ml of borane-tetrahydrofuran complex (1.17M tetrahydrofuran solution) was added, and the reaction solution was stirred overnight at 50° C. The reaction solution was cooled, 14 ml of 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide was added under ice-cooling, and the reaction solution was stirred for 1 hour. The reaction solution was diluted with saturated aqueous ammonium solution, extracted with diethyl ether, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/hexane (0:100-50:50)) to afford the title compound as a colorless oil.
