1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-1-[3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)propyl]isobenzofuran → 1-(4-Fluorophenyl)-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-propanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

39.6 Parts of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-1-[3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)propyl]isobenzofuran were dissolved in 9.8 parts of a hydrochloric acid solution 0.1M and 788 parts of ethanol and the whole was stirred and refluxed for 1 hour. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was taken up in methylbenzene and water. The organic phase was separated, washed with water, dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column-chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (99:1 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated, yielding 24.2 parts of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-propanol as a residue (intermediate 94).
