Reaction Steps

Solid lithium aluminum hydride (025 g) is added in portions to a stirred solution of methyl 3-[2(E)-(quinolin-2-yl)ethenyl]benzoate (2.1 g, 7.3 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 ml). The mixture is stirred for 30 minutes, diluted with sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract is dried and evaporated and the residue chromatographed on silica in ethyl acetate-hexane.
