Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-(2,4-Difluoro-phenyl)-3-hydroxy-propionitrile (960 mg, 5.24 mmol) was slowly treated with a solution of borane-tetrahydrofuran complex (11.53 mL, 11.53 mmol, 1M in tetrahydrofuran) at 0° C. After bubbling ceased, the reaction mixture was heated to 70° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was then concentrated. The white solid obtained was treated with methanol (11.5 mL), followed by HCl (2M in ether, 11.5 mL). The resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 2 hours, allowed to cool to ambient temperature and then concentrated at reduced pressure. The white solid obtained was triturated with diethyl ether and dried in vacuum oven to provide a white solid (1.10 g, 94%). LC-MS: t=2.20 min, (M+H)+ at 188.08.
