Sodium borohydride → HCID 58338943, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of TBT-CHO (1.4 g, 4.27 mmol) in 80 mL THF and 5 mL dry ethanol was added 163.4 mg (4.3 mmol) sodium borohydride in small portions. The reaction mixture quickly changed color from red to orange and the stirring was continued for 20 min. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure followed by purification with flash silica gel column chromatography using chloroform as eluent yielded orange crystals (1.4 g, 99.4%).
