With sodium tetrahydroborate; ethanol In tetrahydrofuran at 20℃; for 4 h; Inert atmosphere
NaBH4 (4.27 g, 2.50 mmol,2.5 eq) was added to a solution of 4-bromo-3-methylbenzaldehyde (9.00 g, 45.21 mmol, 1.0 eq)in THF and EtOH (10:1, 150 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere and the solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 4 h. After complete consumption of starting material, the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with 0.5 N aq HC1 followed by water and brine. The organic extract was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and solvents evaporated from the filtrate under reduced pressure to afford (4-bromo-3-methylphenyl)methanol (9.0 g, 100percent) as yellow oil.
Preparation of Intermediate 4-Bromo-3-methyl-benzaldehvde (l-2a):The starting material (4-bromo-3-methyl-benzonitrile, 12.8g, 65.3 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (120 ml_) and dichloromethane (20 mL) and cooled to -600C as a 1.5M diisobutylaluminum hydride in toluene (67 mL, 100 mmol) was added dropwise over 30 minutes keeping the temperature between -60 and -500C. The reaction was allowed to warm slowly to room temperature and stirred for an additional 3 hours. The reaction was quenched by adding ethyl acetate and stirring for 20 minutes before the addition of 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid at 0°C. The reaction mixture was then allowed to warm slowly to room temperature before extractive workup in the usual manner using ethyl acetate (2 times). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica eluting with 5percent ethyl acetate in heptane to yield 5.6 g of the title compound (l-2a).1H NMR (CDCI3): delta 2.47 (s, 3H), 7.54 (dd, 1 H), 7.69-7.72 (m, 2H), 9.94 (s, 1H)
