Tetrahydrofuran → 3-[(4-Chlorophenyl)sulfonyl]-3-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-1-propanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Process 1: At 0° C., lithium aluminum hydride (a 1.0M tetrahydrofuran solution, 6.74 ml, 6.74 mmol) was added dropwise to a tetrahydrofuran solution (10 ml) of the ethyl 3-[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl]-3-(2,5-difluorophenyl)propionate (1.31 g, 3.37 mmol) obtained in Example 25. The mixture was then was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. After cooling the reaction mixture to 0° C., and addition of a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The solid thus precipitated was filtered off. The solution thus obtained was diluted with ether, washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and then, concentrated. The residue thus obtained was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane, whereby the title compound (397 mg, 1.14 mmol, 34%) was obtained as a colorless solid.
