Aluminium lithium hydride → HCID 66835897, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-[benzothiazol-2-yl(1-methylpiperidin-4-yloxy)methyl]benzoic acid ethyl ester (0.55 g, example 206) in tetrahydrofurane (10 mL) is treated with lithium aluminum hydride (76 mg) at room temperature for 1 h. Two other additions of lithium aluminum hydride (76 mg each) allow a complete conversion. The mixture is then hydrolyzed with water (178 μL), 5% sodium hydroxide (178 μL) and water (535 μL), filtered through a pad of clarcel and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified over silica gel (dichloromethane/methanol/ammonia 95/5/0.5) to afford {3-[benzothiazol-2-yl(1-methylpiperidin-4-yloxy)methyl]phenyl}methanol which is then converted into its oxalate salt in acetone to give {3-[benzothiazol-2-yl(1-methylpiperidin-4-yloxy)methyl]phenyl}methanol, oxalate.
