Ammonium Chloride → HCID 67396693, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminum hydride (4.44 g) was added in small portions to a solution of ethyl 5-cyclopropyl-6-methoxypyridine-2-carboxylate (17.3 g) in tetrahydrofuran (300 mL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for one hour. The reaction solution was poured into a saturated ammonium chloride solution, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered, after which the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give (5-cyclopropyl-6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)methanol (14.1 g).
