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

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a solution of 3-methyl-5-(4-Trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-thiophene-2-carbaldehyde (0.140 g, 0.518 mmole) in THF (5 mL), is added to LiBH4 (0.056 g, 2.57 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 1N HCl (10 mL) at 0° C. The THF is removed on rota vapor, the aqueous solution is then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 mL). The combined organic solution is washed with brine (3×20 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 white solid.
