Sodium borohydride → HCID 13808652, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(3-chloropropyl)-7-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzoxathiepin-3-one (0.8 g) in tetrahydrofuran (2 ml) and methanol (10 ml) is added sodium borohydride (0.1 g) under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture is stirred for another one hour and evaporated in vacuo. The residue is mixed with ethyl acetate and water. The orgonic layer is separated, washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue is submited to column chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:1) to give 4-(3-chloropropyl)-7-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,5-benzoxathiepin-3-ol (0.68 g) as a colorless oil.
