Diisobutylaluminumhydride → HCID 68510790, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-ethoxy-4′-fluoro-biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.50 g, 1.73 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in anhydrous THF (10 mL) was added dropwise at −10° C. diisobutylaluminum hydride (5.2 mL, 5.20 mmol, 3.0 equiv; 1 M solution in hexane) and the ccolong bath removed. After stirring for an additional time period of 60 min at rt, the reaction mixture was carefully poured on crashed ice/diluted HCl, extracted twice with ethyl acetate, the combined organic phases washed with water and a sat. solution of NaCl, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure. The title compound was isolated in quantitative yield (0.43 g) as a colorless viscous oil, sufficiently pure for the next step. MS (ISP): 229.3 [M+H−H2O]1.
