Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)(cyclopropyl)methanone (150 mg, 0.821 mmol) in MeOH (3 mL) at 0° C. was added sodium borohydride (31 mg, 0.821 mmol) and stirred for 30 min: The solution was diluted with EtOAc, washed with brine, dried with MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness to afford (2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)(cyclopropyl)methanol (150 mg, 0.812 mmol, 99% yield).
