Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium borohydride (1.0 g, 26.4 mmol) was added to a solution of N,N-diethyl-2-trimethylsilyl-6-formylbenzamide, prepared in Example 97, (5.54 g, 20 mmol) in absolute ethanol (100 mL). After 3 h the mixture was diluted with ether, extracted three times with brine, dried (MgSO4), concentrated, and recrystallized from 1:1 ethyl acetate/hexanes to afford 4.12 g of N,N-diethyl-2-trimethylsilyl-6-hydroxymethylbenzamide as a white solid, a 74% yield. m.p. 81°-82.5° C.
