Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 12 g of the product of Step A in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise to a mixture of 2.8 g of lithium aluminum hydride in 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran and the mixture was refluxed for 24 hours. Excess hydride was destroyed by addition of ethyl acetate and aqueous 2N hydrochloric acid was added thereto. The mixture was filtered and the aqueous phase was extracted with ether. The combined organic phases were evaporated to dryness to obtain 5.2 g of (2-phenoxy-5-thiazolyl)-methanol.
