Acetic Acid → HCID 66991028, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetic acid (0.12 mL), a 37% aqueous solution of formaldehyde (0.10 mL), and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.54 g) were sequentially added to a tetrahydrofuran (5.4 mL) solution of the obtained methyl 2-(2-(benzyloxy)-5-(piperidin-4-yl)benzamido)-4-bromobenzoate (0.54 g), followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and ethyl acetate were added to the residue. The organic layer was separated, washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography [eluent: 100-90% chloroform/methanol] to obtain 0.48 g of methyl 2-(2-(benzyloxy)-5-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)benzamido)-4-bromobenzoate as a light yellow solid.
