反应详情

Sodium borohydride (0.24 g) was added to a mixture of 5-nitro-2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde (1.0 g) and ethanol (30 ml) at 0° C. and then this mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 40 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with dichloromethane. The dichloromethane layer was washed with water and dried (MgSO4), after which the solvent was evaporated off, to yield 2-hydroxymethyl-5-nitrothiophene (0.5 g, 49%).
