Water → (RS,SR)-2-benzenesulfonyl-2-(6-chloro-9-methoxymethyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-2-yl)-propan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 402 mg (0.84 mmol) of (RS,SR)-2-benzenesulfonyl-2-(6-chloro-9-methoxymethyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-2yl)-propionic acid methyl ester in 6 mL of THF, 1.0 mL (1.0 mmol, 1.2 eq) of LiAlH4 in THF was added at RT. After 30 min, the reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc, dried over Na2SO4, and evaporation of the solvent afforded (RS,SR)-2-benzenesulfonyl-2-(6-chloro-9-methoxymethyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-2-yl)-propan-1-ol as a colorless oil, MS: 465 (MNH4+). The crude material was used in the next step without further purification.
