Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Methyl (7-tetrahydropyranyloxybenzofuran-3-yl)acetate (355 mg) was dissolved in THF (4 ml) and the solution was cooled to 0° C. To this solution, lithium aluminum hydride (47 mg) was added and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate was added to the reaction solution and the solution was filtered through Celite. The filtrate was poured into water layer (30 ml) and the resultant was extracted twice with ethyl acetate (20 ml). The organic layers were combined and washed with saturated saline, followed by drying the resultant over sodium sulfate. After removing the sodium sulfate by filtration, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography (solvent: hexane/ethyl acetate=2/1) using silica gel to obtain the desired compound (289 mg, yield: 90%).
