Reaction Steps

A solution of LiAlH4 (39.39 mL, 39.397 mmol, 1 M solution in THF) was treated with compound 2 (2.15 g, 9.849 mmol) in dry THF (25 mL) at 0° C. The reaction was brought to room temperature and stirred for over night (18 h). The reaction was quenched with water (1.5 mL), 2 N NaOH solution (1.5 mL) and water (1.5 mL). After stirring for 30 min. at room temperature, the reaction was filtered, washed with CH2Cl2 (4×20 mL). The combined organic layer was evaporated and crude was purified by column chromatography (2 M NH3 in MeOH:CH2Cl2, 2:98 to 5:95) to obtain compound 3 (0.95 g, 47%) as a syrup. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 6.93 (t, 1H, J=8.1 Hz), 6.83 (d, 1H, J=7.2 Hz), 6.51 (d, 1H, J=8.1 Hz), 6.43 (t, 1H, J=7.8 Hz), 3.33-3.24 (m, 4H), 2.64 (t, 2H, J=6.3 Hz), 2.36 (t, 2H, J=7.5 Hz), 2.17 (s, 6H), 1.85-1.77 (m, 2H); ES-MS (m/z, %) 205 (MH+, 22), 160 (100), 132 (65).
