beta-(p-Chlorophenyl)propionic acid → 4-Chlorobenzenepropanol

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a stirred solution of 5.0 g (27 mmol) of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)propionic acid in 30 ml of tetrahydrofuran at 0° C., 30 ml (1M in THF, 30 mmol) of borane-tetrahydrofuran solution was added dropwise. The reaction was stirred for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was quenched with water and partitioned between diethyl ether and saturated sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with 40 ml of diethyl ether. The organic layers were combined and washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to obtain 3.9 g of a colorless oil.
