Procedure
A mixture of 1.0 mmol of 3-iodo-4-methylbenzoic acid and 1.2 mmol of NaBH4 in 4 mL of anhydrous THF was stirred for 30 min and then 0.5 mmol of iodine in 2.0 mL of THF at 5° C. was added. After stirring for 2 h the mixture was processed by extraction to provide 3-iodo-4-methylbenzyl alcohol.
