Participants

Reaction Steps

LiAlH4 (2.4 mL of 1M solution in THF, 2.44 mmol) is added to a solution of 6-(2,6-diethyl-phenyl)-2,4-dimethyl-nicotinic acid ethyl ester (380 mg, 1.22 mmol) in THF (10 mL) at 0° C. The mixture is stirred for 1 hour at ambient temperature. After quenching with water, the mixture is extracted with EtOAc. The combined extracts are washed with saturated brine, dried (NaaSO4), and concentrated to give the crude alcohol as a colorless oil which is used in the next step without further purification. NMR (CDCl3) 7.26 (t, 1H), 7.13 (d, 2H), 6.93 (s, 1H), 4.82 (s, 2H), 2.68 (s, 3H), 2.46 (s, 3H), 2.37-2.28 (m, 4H), 1.05 (t, 6H).
