Aluminium lithium hydride → HCID 67251171, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In an atmosphere of nitrogen, a THF solution of methyl 4-[(4′-chloro-2′-methylbiphenyl-3-yl)methoxy]-2-fluorobenzoate was dropwise added to a THF suspension of lithium aluminum hydride under cooling on an ice-methanol bath, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour to obtain 4-[(4′-chloro-2′-methylbiphenyl-3-yl)methoxy]-2-fluorobenzyl alcohol. By adding manganese dioxide to a THF solution of the resulting 4-[(4′-chloro-2′-methylbiphenyl-3-yl)methoxy]-2-fluorobenzyl alcohol and stirring at 40° C. for 17 hours, 4-[(4′-chloro-2′-methylbiphenyl-3-yl)methoxy]-2-fluorobenzaldehyde was obtained.
