Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-fluoro-5-iodobenzaldehyde (1.173 g, 4.692 mmol) in isopropanol (25 mL) was treated with sodium borohydride (0.379 g, 10.02 mmol), stirred at room temperature for 18 h, poured into water (125 mL), and extracted with isopropyl ether (2×25 mL). The combined organic phase was dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (1.187 g, 99%) as a pale yellow solid; NMR δH (400 MHz, CDCl3) 7.77 (1H, m), 7.57 (1H, m), 6.82 (1H, t, J 8.8 Hz), 4.73 (2H, d, J 6.1 Hz), and 1.79 (1H, t, J 6.1 Hz).
