Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-methoxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzenecarboxaldehyde (1 g, 4.13 mmol) in methanol (12 mL) was treated with polymer-supported borohydride (10.3 mmol) and the mixture shaken for 16 hours. The resin was then filtered and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 0.88 g of title compound.
