Tetrahydrofuran → HCID 90423191, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A THF (10 mL) solution of ethyl 2-cyclopropyl-4′-fluoro-6-isopropoxybiphenyl-4-carboxylate (1.22 g) was added to a THF (20 mL) suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (0.3 g) under ice cooling in a nitrogen atmosphere. After stirring at the same temperature as above for 30 minutes, water (0.3 mL) and a 15% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (0.3 mL) were added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. Water (0.9 mL) was further added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate). Manganese dioxide (3.21 g) was added to a toluene (10 mL) solution of the obtained purified product, and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered, and then, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain the title compound (850 mg).
