Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-[methyl(4-phenyl-2-thiazolyl)aminomethyl]benzoate (2.06 g) in tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) was dropwise added a solution (0.9 M, 30 mL) of diisobutylaluminum hydride in hexane at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs. Diethyl ether was added to the reaction mixture, sodium sulfate 10 hydrate was further added and the mixture was stirred for 2 hrs. After filtering off insoluble materials, the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give white crystals (1.85 g, 98%) of 4-[methyl(4-phenyl-2-thiazolyl)aminomethyl]benzyl alcohol from a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:1, v/v). melting point: 88-90° C.
