Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cold (5° C.) solution of ethyl ({4-[cycloheptylidene(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]phenyl}oxy)acetate (190) (0.200 g, 0.53 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added 1 M solution of LiAlH4 (1.3 mL, 2.5 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at that temperature for 0.5 h. Reaction mixture was quenched with EtOAc (5 mL) and stirred for an additional 10 min before pouring into 20% aqueous HCl (50 ml). The reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL) and the combined organics washed with brine (1×25 ml), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using hexanes and EtOAc (4:1 to 3:2) as an eluent to afford 155 mg (86%) of compound 224 as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD): δ 7.04 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 6.94 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 6.86 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 6.70 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 4.03 (t, J=5.1 Hz, 2H), 3.86 (t, J=5.1 Hz, 2H), 2.32 (d, J=4.5 Hz, 4H), 1.60 (br s, 8H). LCMS (ESI): m/z 337 (M−H)−.
