Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-[4-({4-[({4-[(E)-2-(2-ethyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl}oxy)methyl]-2-methoxyphenoxy}methyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl]benzoate (212 mg), lithium borohydride (74 mg) and tetrahydrofuran (40 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 12 hrs. Water was poured into the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate-tetrahydrofuran. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography and eluted with acetone-hexane (1:5-1:4, v/v) to give {3-[4-({4-[({4-[(E)-2-(2-ethyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)ethenyl]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl}oxy)methyl]-2-methoxyphenoxy}methyl)-5-methyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl]phenyl}methanol (143 mg, yield 62%) as colorless crystals. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-hexane gave colorless prism crystals. melting point: 130-132° C.
