Water → [4-Morpholin-4-ylmethyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-thiazol-5-yl]-methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 355 mg of 4-morpholin-4-ylmethyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester in 1 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added 0.88 mL of a 1M solution of lithium aluminium hydride in tetrahydrofuran. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Water was slowly added and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (gradient of dichloromethane/methanol from 100/0 to 90/10) to give 276 mg of [4-morpholin-4-ylmethyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-thiazol-5-yl]-methanol.
