Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 90281956, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[4-(benzyloxy)-2-chlorophenyl]propanoic acid (1.00 g) in tetrahydrofuran (20.0 mL) was added 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (1.11 g), followed by stirring at room temperature for 2 hours. Subsequently, sodium borohydride (520 mg) and water (4.00 mL) were added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. To the reaction mixture was added 1 M hydrochloric acid, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate) to obtain 3-[4-(benzyloxy)-2-chlorophenyl]propan-1-ol (861 mg).
