Sodium Sulfate → HCID 14533169, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a two-necked round-bottomed flask replaced with nitrogen, 0.09 g of lithium aluminum hydride and dry ether were placed and cooled with ice, and a solution of 0.5 g of (+)-3-trifluoromethyl-1-heptanoic acid in 3 ml of dry ether was added dropwise thereto. The mixture was stirred for 4 hours on an ice bath for reaction, and a saturated sodium sulfate aqueous solution was added thereto, followed by decantation to recover the ether layer. The ether solution was dried on sodium sulfate, followed by distilling-off of the solvent and distillation by means of a Kugelrohr distiller in the range of 96° C./33 mmHg-104° C./34 mmHg to obtain 290 mg (yield: 66%) of (-)-3-trifluoromethyl-1-heptanol.
