Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 0.25 g of lithium aluminum hydride in 20 ml of absolute ethyl ether, a solution of 1.2 g of 5-chloro-α-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(trifluoroacetylamino)benzyl alcohol in 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise. After mixture stirring at room temperature for 1 hour, water was added, and the organic layer was dried, after which the solvent was removed and the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to yield 1.0 g of an oily compound.
