Reaction Steps

Added at room temperature to a suspension of 0.80 (21 mmol) of lithium aluminum hydride in THF (20 ml) was 1.5 g of 5,6-dihydro-6-ethyl-5-oxo-2-(4-benzylpiperazino)pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine (Referential Example 11). After refluxing the reaction mixture for 4 hours, the reaction mixture was added with water to decompose excess lithium aluminum hydride. An aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and chloroform were added to the resultant mixture to extract the latter. After washing the chloroform layer with water, it was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and was then concentrated to obtain 1.4 g of light yellowish crystals. The crude crystals were immersed in ethyl acetate to obtain 1.1 g of 1,4,5,6-Tetrahydro-6-ethyl-5-oxo-2-(4-benzylpiperazino)pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine as colorless crystals (yield: 72%).
