Procedure
A suspension of methyl(2-chloro-4-cyano-3-fluorophenyl)acetate (400 mg, 1.8 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was treated with lithium borohydride solution in THF (2M, 1.1 mL, 2.2 mmol) and the reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was quenched with 2N HCl and the mixture was partitioned with ethyl acetate and water. The aqueous was extracted again with ethyl acetate and the organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was purified on a CombiFlash Rf (24 gm, gradient 10-40% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford the title alcohol. 1H-NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.66 (br s, 1H), 3.088 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 3.922 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 7.242 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.469 (dd, J=6.5 and 8.1 Hz, 1H).
