Dichloromethane → 1-[5-Bromo-3-(tert-butyl)-2-methoxyphenyl]-4-piperidinol

Participants

Reaction Steps

NaBH4 (0.23 g, 6.1 mmol) was added to a mixed solution of. 1-[5-bromo-3-(tert-butyl)-2-methoxyphenyl]-4-piperidinone (2.0 g, 5.9 mmol) in methanol (12 ml)-methylene chloride (12 ml) while cooling on ice. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was diluted with water and extraction was performed with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent: n-hexane-ethyl acetate) to yield the title compound (1.3 g).
