Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of [6-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)benzo[b]thien-3-yl][4-[2-(3-methyl-1-piperidinyl]ethoxy]phenyl]methanone, as described in United Kingdom Patent Application GB 2097 788 H (0.300 g, 0.633 mmol), was stirred in THF (40 mL) at ambient temperature. Lithium aluminum hydride (0.100 g, 2.64 mmol) was added gradually over a 15 minute period and the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1.75 hours. Subsequently, the reaction was quenched with cold ethyl acetate. The mixture was evaporated and then taken up in methanol (10 mL) an ethyl acetate (30 mL). The organic layers were washed with sodium bicarbonate (25 mL of a saturated aqueous solution), potassium sodium tartrate (3×20 mL, saturated aqueous solution), and dried (magnesium sulfate). Concentration gave 0.290 g (96%) of the title compound which was used without further purification:
