Sodium borohydride → HCID 19349445, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium borohydride (20 mg) was added to a solution of 2-[3-(2-oxo-1,1-dimethylpropyl)-5-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)phenyl]-2-methylpropiononitrile (prepared as described in Example 2--40 mg) in ethanol (2 ml) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract was dried and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography, using methanol (1% by volume) in ethyl acetate as eluant, to give 2-[3-(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethylpropyl)-5-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-methyl)phenyl]-2-methylpropiononitrile, mp 83°-84°.
