Reaktionsschritte

To a suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (4.05 g) in tetrahydrofuran (475 ml) was added dropwise a solution of 4-octyloxybenzaldehyde (25 g) in tetrahydrofuran (25 ml) at 55°~60° C. The reaction mixture was stirred under reflux for 1 hour, and thereto was added sodium fluoride (35.84 g) and water (11.52 ml) under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, and filtrated. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give 4-octyloxybenzyl alcohol (25.1 g) as crystals.
