Procedure
To a solution of 1-(2-Methyl-5-phenyl-thiophen-3-yl)-ethanone (1.08 g, 5.0.0 mmole) in THF (20 mL), is added to LiBH4 (0.327 g, 15.0 mmole) in one portion at 0° C. The reaction is kept at 0° C. for 30 minutes and warmed up to room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction is quenched using NH4Cl(aq) (50 mL) at 0° C. The THF is removed on rota vapor, the aqueous solution is then extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic solution is dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to provide the titled compound as white solid, which is used for the next step without further purification.
