4-Chlorosalicylic acid → 5-Chloro-2-(hydroxymethyl)phenol

참여 물질

반응 단계

A solution of 4-chloro salicylic acid (10.0 g, 58.0 mmol) in THF (150 mL) was treated with LAH (1.5 equivalent) at reflux for 2 h. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction solution was quenched by 1 N NaHSO4 solution (200 mL), and then extracted with ether (300 mL). After separation, the organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The dried crude product 25 (7.5 g, 81%) was obtained as a gray solid, and was pure enough for use without further purification.
