Citric Acid → HCID 58022566, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound of Example 40 (15.6 g) in THF (249 mL) was added under ice cooling lithium borohydride (3.75 g), and then ethanol (16.6 mL) was added dropwise. The resultant solution was then stirred for 1 hour under ice cooling. To The reaction solution was added 10% aqueous citric acid, extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and saturated brine in that order, and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, and the resultant residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) to obtain the target product (12.9 g) as a colorless oil.
