Sodium borohydride → HCID 11391116, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)-1-phenylethanone (2.5 g, 10 mmol, Example 4) in methanol (30 ml) added with sodium borohydride (378 mg, 10 mmol) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5.5 hours and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent; hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1) to give 2-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)-1-phenylethanol (0.73 g, 2.9 mmol, 29%) as a colorless oil.
