Acetic Acid → HCID 11652636, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)-3-(2′,4′-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-propanone (6) (5 mg) was dissolved in 1-propanol (1 ml), followed by the addition of sodium borohydride (2 mg) and the mixture was allowed to react at room temperature for 5 hours. Upon completion of the reaction, 20% acetic acid (0.2 ml) was added to neutralize the excess sodium borohydride. The reaction mixture was then separated on a pre-packed C18 column eluting with a MeOH/H2O gradient to provide 1-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)-3-(2′,4′-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-propanol (7).
