Aluminium lithium hydride → HCID 43419458, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (methyl 2-(2-tert-butyl-5-methylphenoxy)acetate (7.16 g, 30.3 mmol) was added a 2.0M solution of LAH in THF (15.2 mL, 30.3 mL) under an ice-water bath. The resulting mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 10 minutes before it was quenched with ice chips. The solvent was removed, and 20 mL of 2.0N aqueous HCl solution was added. The resulting mixture was extracted with DCM (30 mL×3). The extract was washed with water, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was purified by CombiFlash to give 6.22 g of 46.3, which was eluted with 0-40% EtOAc in hexane.). MS ESI (pos.) m/e: 209 (+H). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.20 (d, J=8.0Hz, 1H), 6.76 (d, J=8.0Hz, 1H), 6.73 (s, 2H), 4.15 (dd, 2H), 4.04 (dd, 2H), 2.34 (s, 3H), 1.41 (s, 9H).
