Hydrochloric Acid → 6-{3-[N-(3-hydroxymethylbenzyl)-N-(2-pyridin-3-ylethyl)amino]prop oxy}-1-methyl-1H-quinolin-2-one dihydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium borohydride (16.5 mg) was added to a THE solution (4 ml) of 3-{[N-[3-(1-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-6-yloxy)propyl]-N-(2-pyridin-3-ylethyl)amino]methyl}benzoic acid methyl ester (192 mg). Methanol (1 ml) was added to the mixture and stirred for 1.5 hour while heated under reflux. The reaction liquid was cooled to room temperature. Water was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The filtrate was condensed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:methanol=10:1→4:1). The purified product was condensed under reduced pressure. A 4N-hydrogen chloride in ethyl acetate solution (0.082 ml) was added to a ethyl acetate solution (1 ml) of the residue, and the liquid was stirred at room temperature. The precipitated insoluble matter was separated, washed with ether, and dried to give the title compound (53.4 mg) as a white powder.
