Lithium aluminium hydride solution (20 mL, 1M) in THF was added slowly to a solution of 1-(pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid methyl ester (2.2 g, 11 mmol) in THF at 0° C. (ice/water), under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the resulting solution stirred for ˜3 hrs at room temperature. The solution was cooled, 0° C. (ice/water), and sodium sulphate decahydrate (4.9 g, 15 mmol) was added portion-wise to give a white suspension. Diethyl ether (25 mL) was added and the suspension stirred for ˜18 hrs. at room temperature. The resulting suspension was filtered, through celite, and the solids washed with diethyl ether (2×50 mL). The combined filtrates were concentrated to give (1-pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl-cyclopropyl)-methanol as a pale yellow oil 1.45 g, 84%.
