Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(3,4-bisdifluoromethoxyphenyl)-4-cyanocyclohexan-1-one dimethyl ketal (0.5 g, 1.33 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3 mL) at room temperature under an argon atmosphere was added to a suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (0.1 g, 2.66 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (4.5 mL). After 6 h, ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous sodium potassium tartrate were added, followed by saturated aqueous sodium carbonate, and the mixture was extracted four times with ethyl acetate. The organic extract was dried (potassium carbonate) and the solvent was removed in vacuo to provide an oil (0.43 g, 85%).
