3-Hydroxybenzaldehyde → HCID 28432204, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Glycine methyl ester (500 mg, 4 mmol) and 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde (480 mg, 4 mmol) were dissolved in 5 mL THF/Methanol (1:1). Acetic acid (240 mg, 4 mmol), and 1M sodium cyanoborohydride in THF (4.8 mL, 4.8 mmol) were slowly added into the reaction. The reaction was irradiated in the microwave reactor at 85° C. for 15 minutes, cooled to room temperature and the salts were removed by filtration. The clear solution was concentrated and the residue was purified by reversed phase HPLC (10 to 95% Acetonitrile in H2O:25 minute gradient) to give the title compound as a clear gel. Yield 45%. MS M+H calculated 196.1; found 196.1.
