Participants

Reaction Steps

0.9 g of methyl 4-(3-pyridyloxy)-3-trifluoromethylbenzoate was dissolved in 10 ml of THF and 235 mg of LiAlH4 were added at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at RT for 3 h, poured onto 50 ml of 1 N Na2CO3 and extracted 3 times with 50 ml of EA. It was dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent was removed in vacuo. 780 mg of a white solid were obtained, which was used without further purification.
