Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Phenyl-1,3-dihydro-furo[3,4-c]pyridin-3-ol (50 mg) was dissolved in ethanol (2 mL) and treated with sodium borohydride (13 mg). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour and then diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated, and the residue purified by flash chromatography to yield (3-hydroxymethyl-pyridin-4-yl)-phenyl-methanol as a colorless foam.
