Aluminium lithium hydride → HCID 11770884, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminium hydride (5.3 ml, 5.30 mmol, 1M in tetrahydrofuran) was slowly added to {2-(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-2-[4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-phenyl]-ethyl}-carbamic acid benzyl ester (439 mg, 1.06 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) at 0° C. under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature, stirred for 51 hours and quenched with water (5 ml), aqueous sodium hydroxide (2N, 5 ml) and ethyl acetate (10 ml). The aqueous layer was separated, extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 ml). The combined organic liquors were washed with saturated aqueous brine then dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2), eluting with dichloromethane:methanol:acetic acid:water (120:15:3:2) gradient to (90:18:3:2) to afford the title compound, which was subsequently converted to the hydrochloride salt (100 mg, 32%). LC/MS: (PS-A2) Rt 1.87 [M+H]+ 296. 1H NMR (Me-d3-OD) δ 8.20 (2H, s), 7.57 (2H, d), 7.34-7.29 (4H, m), 7.02 (2H, t), 4.32 (1H, t), 3.67 (2H, d), 2.65 (3H, s).
