Lithium borohydride → 2-Thiophenemethanol, 5-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a solution of 5-(4-Trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-thiophene-2-carbaldehyde (3.02 g, 11.8 mmole) in THF (100 mL), is added to LiBH4 (1.75 g, 80.24 mmole) in one portion at 0° C. The reaction is kept at 0° C. for 15 minutes and warmed up to room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction is quenched using 5N HCl (100 mL) at 0° C. The THF is removed on rota vapor, the aqueous solution is then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The combined organic solution is washed with brine (3×200 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The crude product is purified on a silica gel column, eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane and concentrated to provide the titled compound as off-white solid.
