Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[(4-{[2-(2-furyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-4-yl]methoxy}benzyl)oxy]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (0.50 g) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL)-ethanol (5 mL) was gradually added sodium borohydride (0.040 g) at 0° C. After stirring at room temperature for 1 hr, water was added to the reaction mixture and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration to give {3-[(4-{[2-(2-furyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-4-yl]methoxy}benzyl)oxy]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl}methanol as colorless crystals (0.47 g, yield 94%). Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-hexane gave colorless prism crystals. melting point: 113-114° C.
