Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium borohydride (4.65 g, 0.123 mol) was added to a stirred suspension of 6-bromo-3,4-dihydro-spiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,1′-cyclopentan]-4-one (31.83 g, 0.1137 mol) in methanol (650 mL) at 0° C. and the mixture was maintained at this temperature for a further 30 minutes. After stirring for an additional 30 minutes at room temperature, concentrated hydrochloric acid was added until acid and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Water was added to the residue and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was recrystallized from diethylether/petroleum ether 40-60° C. (⅓). The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with petroleum ether and dried (71%). mp: 123-123.5° C., IR (KBr): 3271 (O—H), 2963, 2873 (C—H aliphatic) cm−1, Anal. (C13H15O2Br) C, H.
