Nicotinic Acid → HCID 53666820, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.23 g of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide was added, with ice cooling, to a solution of 1.08 g of 2-(2-aminoethoxy)-1-phenylethanol, 730 mg of nicotinic acid, 810 mg of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and 0.83 ml of triethylamine dissolved in 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 5 minutes and further at room temperature for 1 hour. To the reaction mixture was added 11 ml of ethyl acetate. The insolubles were removed by filtration. To the filtrate was added 5 ml of water and the mixture was adjusted to pH 2 with 6N hydrochloric acid. The aqueous layer was separated. The organic layer was extracted with 5 ml of water. The extract was combined with the previously separated aqueous layer. The combined aqueous layer was mixed with 20 ml of chloroform and adjusted to pH 10 with potassium carbonate. The organic layer was separated, washed with water, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was purified by column chromatography (eluant: chloroform/ethanol=15/1) to obtain 400 mg of oily 2-(2-nicotinoylaminoethoxy)-1-phenylethanol (compound No. 216).
