Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2-((2-(4-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-3-fluorophenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,3-benzoxazol-5-yl)oxy)-1-(morpholin-4-yl)ethanone (4.36 g) in THF (25 mL) was added methylmagnesium bromide (1 M THF solution, 15.2 mL), and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. To the reaction mixture was added saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. To a solution of the obtained residue in a mixed solvent of THF (10 mL)-methanol (10 mL) was added sodium tetrahydroborate (383 mg), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. To the reaction mixture was added saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (3.48 g).
