Reaction Steps

12.65 ml (195 mmol) MeSO3H in 10 ml CH2Cl2 was slowly added to a mixture of 611 mg (3.0 mmol) 4-(4-hydroxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)benzonitrile and 1.13 g (30 mmol) NaBH4 in 15 ml CH2Cl2 at 0° C. Stirred for 1 h. 2M NaOH was added until pH>10. The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic phase was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The crude product (450 mg, 81%) was used directly in the next step.
