反応手順

A solution of 4.80 g of 4-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzoic acid in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise at 0° C. to the suspension of 5.29 g of lithium aluminium hydride in 150 ml of tetrahydrofuran and stirred over 2 hours. The reaction mixture is admixed dropwise successively with 6 ml of water, 6 ml of 15% NaOH and 24 ml of water, and stirred over 1 hour. The mixture is filtered and the filtrate is concentrated by evaporation. The crude title compound is obtained as a red-orange oil from the residue. Rf=0.20 (1:1 EtOAc-heptane); Rt=2.47.
