Sodium sulfate decahydrate → (2-Phenyl-8,9-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-1-yl)methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 80% lithium aluminum hydride (100 mg, 2.16 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was added a solution of methyl 2-phenyl-8,9-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-1-carboxylate (160 mg, 0.544 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. Sodium sulfate decahydrate (1.7 g) was added under ice-cooling, and the insoluble material was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate), and further washed with diisopropyl ether to give the title compound (132 mg, yield 90%).
