Methanol → tert-butyl ({5-[2-fluoro-3-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl}methyl)methylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl {[5-(2-fluoro-3-formylphenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]methyl}methylcarbamate (388 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (8 mL) were added under ice-cooling, sodium borohydride (41.3 mg) and methanol (3 mL). After stirring at the same temperature for 30 min, water was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by basic silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate=2:1→1:2) to give the title compound as a colorless oil (yield 238 mg, 61%).
