Procedure
To a solution of methyl 5-(difluoromethyl)thiophene-2-carboxylate (2.23 g) in THF (60 ml)-MeOH (15 ml) was added NaBH4 (2.20 g) at room temperature, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution, and extracted with EtOAc. The extract was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc) to give the title compound (1.94 g) as a pale yellow oil.
