Water → [1-[4-[2-[N-methyl-N-(2-pyridyl)amino]ethoxy]benzyl]-4-phenyl-3-pyrrolyl]methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminium hydride (305 mg) was added to a solution of methyl 1-[4-[2-[N-methyl-N-(2-pyridyl)amino]ethoxy]benzyl]-4-phenyl-3-pyrrolecarboxylate (1.78 g) in tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. After water was added to the reaction mixture, the precipitate was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and [1-[4-[2-[N-methyl-N-(2-pyridyl)amino]ethoxy]benzyl]-4-phenyl-3-pyrrolyl]methanol (1.45 g, yield: 87%) was obtained as an oily substance from the fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:1, volume ratio).
