To 100 ml. of 1.0 M borane in tetrahydrofuran cooled in an ice bath under nitrogen is added dropwise, 27.8 g. of p-decyloxybenzoic acid in 300 ml. of tetrahydrofuran over a period of 45 minutes. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 6 hours and poured onto ice, diluted with water and 10 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid.
