Participants

Reaction Steps

DIBAL-H (1.5 M in Toluene, 0.3 mL) is added dropwise to a solution of 3-{1-[6-(2,6-diethyl-phenyl)-4-ethoxy-pyridin-3-yl]-butoxy}-benzoic acid methyl ester (80 mg, 0.17 mmol) in THF (3 mL) at room temperature. The reaction mixture is stirred for 2 hours, then diluted with ether (5 mL) and treated with Na2SO4.10H2O. The resulting mixture is stirred for one hour and filtered through Celite. Concentration of the filtrate at reduced pressure gives (3-{1-[6-(2,6-diethyl-phenyl)-4-ethoxy-pyridin-3-yl]-butoxy}-phenyl)-methanol. 1H NMR (CDCl3) 8.53 (s, 1H), 7.10-7.30 (m, 4H), 6.74-6.90 (m, 4H), 5.60 (m, 1H), 4.51 (s, 2H), 4.13 (q, 2H), 2.47 (s, 1H), 2.24-2.37 (m, 4H), 1.80-2.10 (m, 2H), 1.40-1.60 (m, 5H), 0.90-1.05 (m, 9H).
