Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl thieno[3,2-c]pyridine-2-carboxylate (D-2) (15 g, 77.6 mmol) in anhydrous THF (250 mL) was added LiAlH4 (4.42 g, 116.4 mmol) in portions at 0° C. The suspension was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h and then quenched by adding saturated aqueous NH4Cl and filtered. The filtrate was washed with brine and concentrated. The residue was used in the next step without any further purification (10.3 g).
