Ethyl Acetate → HCID 10435214, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 24 ml of tetrahydrofuran was suspended 0.60 g (16 mmol) of lithium aluminum hydride, to which a suspension consisting of 24 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 3.0 g (6.3 mmol) of 1-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-2-(4-diphenylmethylpiperazinyl)ethanone was added portionwise under ice-cooled conditions. After being stirred for 0.5 hour, the resultant mixture was added dropwise with 5 ml of ethyl acetate, followed by further addition of 50 ml of ethyl acetate. The thus prepared solution was poured into an aqueous solution of ammonium chloride, and the organic layer was separated. The organic layer was washed twice with saturated saline and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed, and the residue was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of ethanol and chloroform to give 2.37 g of 1-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-2-(4-diphenylmethylpiperazinyl)ethanol (yield: 79%).
