Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methoxy-4-[(2-piperidin-1-yl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)methoxy]benzaldehyde (1.20 g) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL)-ethanol (10 mL) was gradually added sodium borohydride (0.14 g) at room temperature. After stirring the reaction mixture for 2 hrs, water was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give {3-methoxy-4-[(2-piperidin-1-yl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)methoxy]phenyl}methanol as a colorless oil (1.18 g, yield 98%).
