Lithium borohydride → 5-(4-[(4-Phenoxybenzyl)oxy]methylphenyl)isothiazolidin-3-one 1,1-dioxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2 M Lithium borohydride in tetrahydrofuran (0.036 mL, 0.072 mmol) was added to 5-(4-[(4-phenoxybenzyl)oxy]methylphenyl)isothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide (40 mg, 0.009 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (0.5 mL). After stirring for 25 minutes, the reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride. The product was purified on a 50 mm Luna C18 column using a 20–100% acetonitrile in water gradient with 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid at 30 mL per minute over a 30 minute period. The major product was lyophilized to give a white powder (4 mg, 100%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.46 (m, 4H), 7.34 (m, 4H), 7.11 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 1H), 7.01 (m, 4H), 4.98 (t, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 4.60 (s, 2H), 4.55 (s, 2H), 3.38 (dd, J=8.0 Hz, J′=1.3 Hz, 2H); LCMS found for C23H21NNaO5S (M+Na)+: m/z=446.1.
