Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Methylsulfanyl-2-trifluoromethyl-benzaldehyde (4.87 mmol) was dissolved in 5 mL of MeOH and the resulting solution was treated with NaBH4 (221.1 mg, 5.84 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was partitioned between CH2Cl2 and 1N HCl solution. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4. A small portion of extracts was evaporated to afford the desired product.
