Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 90052452, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2,2,3-trifluoro-3-(3-nitrophenyl)propanoate (C30, 1.19 g) in ethanol (43 mL), sodium borohydride (811 mg) was added under ice cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 40 minutes. To the reaction mixture, ethyl acetate and 1.0 mol/L aqueous hydrochloric acid were added. The organic layer was separated, washed successively with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate and saturated aqueous sodium chloride, and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent, 100 to 40% hexane in ethyl acetate) to obtain 2,2,3-trifluoro-3-(3-nitrophenyl)propan-1-ol (C31, 829 mg).
