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. Thereto, sodium fluoride (35.84 g) and water (11.52 ml) were added under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give 4-octyloxybenzyl alcohol (25.1 g) as crystals.
