Pyridine, hydrofluoride (1:1) → HCID 178450081, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(6-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxynaphthalen-2-yl -1-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)-2-methylpropanol (1.60 g) in THF (10 mL) was added 70% aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride-pyridine (3 ml) under ice cooling. The mixture was stirred for 30 min under ice cooling and for 2 h at room temperature. The mixture was neutralized with saturated solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate, extracted with dichloromethane and dried. The solvent was distilled off and the residue was purified by column chromatography (eluent, dichloromethane:methanol=10:1→5:1) to give the titled compound (856 mg) as a colorless powder.
