Benzaldehyde → Hydrocarbostyril

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-{1-[4-(3-aminopropoxy)benzoyl]-4-piperidinyl}-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril (1.4 g), benzaldehyde (0.42 ml) and methanol (15 ml) is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours and cooled with ice. Thereto is added sodium boron hydride (0.21 g) and the mixture is stirred under ice cooling for 2 hours and then allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. The solvent is distilled off and water is added to the resulting residue and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract is washed successively with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate, water and saline solution, dried with sodium sulfate and then the solvent is distilled off. The resulting residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent: methanol:dichloromethane=1:100) to give 1-{1-[4-benzylaminopropoxy)benzoyl]-4-piperidinyl}-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril (1.02 g).
