Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 21890595, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N1-(3-Methylphenyl)-2-{4-[(6,7-dimethoxy-4-quinolyl)oxy]phenoxy}acetamide (70 mg) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) to prepare a solution. A borane-tetrahydrofuran complex (1.0 M solution: 0.78 ml) was then added to the solution, and the mixture was heated under reflux overnight. 1 N Hydrochloric acid was added thereto, and the mixture was further heated under reflux for 30 min. A 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added to the reaction solution, the mixture was extracted with chloroform, and the extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation under the reduced pressure. The residue was purified by thin-layer chromatography using chloroform/methanol for development to give the title compound (31 mg, yield 46%).
