Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under an argon atmosphere, a mixture of 4′-[(5-oxo-4-{trans-4-[(2-oxobut-3-en-1-yl)oxy]cyclohexyl}-7-propyl-4,5-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl)methyl]biphenyl-2-carbonitrile (0.21 g), cerium chloride anhydrous (0.15 g), tetrahydrofuran (4 mL) and methanol (2 mL) was stirred at 0° C. for 10 min, and the mixture was cooled to −78° C. Sodium tetrahydroborate (0.026 g) was added, and the mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was added to saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound as a colorless solid (0.035 g, 16%).
