The method for chemoselective synthesis of aminobenzylic derivative of the alkaloid mackinazolinone was developed and studied its structurein the crystal. It was found that reduction of Schiff base (intermediate, 4) by sodium borohydride at room temperature goes selectively through reduction only of azomethine (N=CH) bond; wherein does not affect the C=N double bond.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
