Participants

Reaction Steps

To tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) were added 5-acetylamino-2,4,6,7-tetramethyl-2-[2-(4-fluorophenyl) ethyl]-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (1.2 g, 3.4 mmol) and lithium aluminum hydride. The mixture was heated under reflux for hours. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and dried and then the solvent was distilled off. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (isopropyl ether-ethyl acetate, 2:1) to obtain the desired compound (0.82 g, yield: 71.2%) as oil.
