Sodium sulfate decahydrate → 287384-86-5

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (0.16 g, 4.2 mmol) in ether (20 mL) at 0° C. under Ar was added ethyl 6-chloro-1-(cyanomethyl)-7-azaindole-2-carboxylate (0.45 g, 1.7 mmol). The mixture was heated under reflux for 18 h, cooled to room temperature and treated with sodium sulfate decahydrate (2.8 g, 8.4 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 30 nun, filtered through kieselguhr, concentrated in vacuo and purified by column chromatography [SiO2; ethyl acetate-methanol (9:1)] to give the product as a yellow oil (0.10 g, 27%).
