Sodium borohydride → (1-Phenylcyclopentyl)methanol

関与物質

反応手順

NaBH4 (3.2 g, 86.2 mmol) was added portion wise to a cooled (ice bath) solution of 1-phenyl-cyclopentanecarbaldehyde (7.5 g, 43.1 mmol) in methanol (100 ml) and then stirred for 16 h at RT. After completion of the reaction, it was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride solution and the methanol under reduced pressure. The mixture was diluted with water, extracted with EtOAc, washed with water, brine, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. Chromatography (15% EtOAc in hexanes) provided (1-phenyl-cyclopentyl)-methanol as a white solid (6 g, 79.8%).
