Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(4-fluoro-2-methylsulfanyl-phenyl)-propionic acid methyl ester (1 g, 4.3 mmol) in dry toluene was added DIBAL-H (5.2 ml in toluene, 1N) drop-wise at −78° C. After stirring at this temperature for 1 h, methanol (5 ml) was added dropwise to quench the reaction. The mixture was warmed to room temperature and diluted with EA. The mixture was washed with brine, dried and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to give the titled compound (804 mg, yield 92%)
