Acetic Acid → HCID 67165602, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

(3′-Formyl-biphenyl-4-yl)-acetic acid methyl ester (1.22 g), acetic acid (0.23 mL) and iso-indoline (0.48 g) were combined in methanol (10 mL). After 1 hour, sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.27 g) was added and stirred for 18 hours, at room temperature, under nitrogen. The reaction was quenched with 0.880 ammonia solution and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in methanol and loaded onto a conditioned SCX cartridge (50 g Varian). The cartridge was washed with methanol (3×50 mL), then eluted with methanolic ammonia solution (2×50 mL) and the combined elution fractions evaporated. Purification on silica, eluting with triethylamine/ethyl acetate/iso-hexane [1:19:80], to give the subtitle compound as a dark brown oil (450 mg).
