Reaction Steps

Next, to a solution of lithium aluminum hydride (139 mg, 3.68 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3.0 mL) was added a solution of the resulting 3-(3-fluoro-phenoxy)-benzonitrile (313 mg, 1.47 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) on an ice bath, and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. A mixture solvent of methanol and water (9:1) was added to the reaction solution, an aqueous solution of saturated ammonium chloride was further added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 10 minutes, then, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, then, the solvent was evaporated to obtain the title compound (285 mg, 89%) as a yellow oil.
