Reaction Steps

A solution of 1 g of 2-isopropyl-3-[1-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-2-methylpropyl]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (Example 34) in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added to a suspension of 330 mg of lithium aluminum hydride in 10 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran under cooling. The mixture was stirred for 40 minutes, followed by addition of 1 ml of aqueous 15% sodium hydroxide solution with cooling, 3 ml of water and an adequate amount of ether successively. The resulting precipitates were filtered off and the filtrate was extracted with ether. The ether layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to dryness. The residue was recrystallized from hexane to give 840 mg (83%) of the desired product as colorless crystals, mp 112° C.
