Aluminium lithium hydride → HCID 57890220, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. solution of 5-{1-[4-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-3-methyl-phenyl]-1-ethyl-propyl}-3-methyl-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (10.0 g, 22.39 mmol) in THF (200 ml) is added portionwise lithium aluminum hydride (1.70 g, 44.78 mmol) and the reaction mixture is warmed to RT for 1 h. The reaction is quenched with water (1.7 ml), 5N NaOH (1.7 ml), and water (5.1 ml). The reaction mixture is filtered, concentrated and chromatographed (120 g SiO2, 10% EtOAc/Hex) to yield the title compound (7.0 g, 75%).
