Reaction Steps

To a solution of lithium borohydride (80 mg, 3.7 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran was added with stirring 5,6-dimethyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-ethoxycarbonylmethylisoindolin-1-one [IUPAC name: ethyl 2-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5,6-dimethyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-yl]acetate] (0.63 g, 1.9 mmol) under ice cooling and stirred at 25° C. for 39 hrs. To the reaction solution was added water, and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration, washed with water, followed by drying to give 0.51 g of 5,6-dimethyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)isoindolin-1-one.
