Trimethylsilyldiazomethane → [5-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylfuran-3-yl]methanol

To a solution of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methylfuran-3-carboxylic acid (0.104 g, 0.44 mmol) in THF (2 mL) and MeOH (2 mL) was added TMSCHN2 (2.0 M in Et2O, 0.250 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 18 hours at which time it was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in 1 ml of THF at 0° C., and a solution of LAH (1.0 M in THF, 0.8 mL) was added. After addition, the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, and then water (0.24 mL), 15% aqueous NaOH (0.24 mL), and water (0.72 mL) were added sequentially to the reaction. After 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was filtered through celite, and the filtrate was concentrated to give 53.1 (0.056 g). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.53-7.63 (m, 2H), 7.31-7.40 (m, 2H), 6.64 (s, 1H), 4.52 (s, 2H), 2.37 (s, 3H).
