Reaction Steps

To a solution of lithium aluminum hydride (2.66 g, 70 mmol) in THF (200 mL) was added dropwise under ice cooling a solution of 4-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)benzonitrile in THF (70 mL). The resulting solution was then refluxed for 1 hour. The resulting reaction solution was again cooled with ice, and then to the solution was added dropwise, in order, water (2.66 mL), 1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide (2.66 mL) and water (7.98 mL). Insoluble matter was removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, after which the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform:methanol=7:1), to thereby yield 11.41 g of the title compound.
