Lithium borohydride → Ether isohexane

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared according to the procedure outlined in example 24 using a mixture of 2-[[2-[[(2,3-difluorophenyl)methyl]thio]-6-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-4-pyrimidinyl]oxy]-(2R)-propanoic acid ethyl ester, (the product of step i) (0.28 g), THF (8 mL) and 2 M lithium borohydride in THF (1.3 mL). Purification was by reverse phase HPLC (symmetry as the stationary phase and TFA/acetonitrile as the mobile phase). The resulting oil was triturated with toluene, DCM, then ether/iso-hexane to give the title compound as a white solid. Yield: 0.18 g
