Sodium sulfate decahydrate → (3-benzyloxy-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-benzyloxy-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (8.06 g) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was added lithium aluminum hydride (0.95 g) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. To the reaction mixture was added sodium sulfate decahydrate (8.06 g) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. After removing the precipitate by filtration, the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give (3-benzyloxy-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methanol (5.91 g, yield 84%) as colorless crystals from a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate. The crystals were recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane. melting point: 93-94° C.
