Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

50 Milliliters of anhydrous ether solution containing 6.8 g of ethyl 4-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)cinnamate was added dropwise to an anhydrous ether solution containing 0.47 g of lithium aluminium hydride being cooled at -30° C. After the addition was finished, the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at the same temperature, then the temperature of the reaction mixture was gradually elevated up to -10° C., then a saturated aqueous solution of sodium sulfate was gradually added to the reaction mixture, and the precipitates formed were removed by filtration. The filtrate was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, then concentrated to dryness, the residue thus obtained was treated by means of silica gel column chromatography (eluent: chloroform) to yield 3.2 g of 4-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)cinnamyl alcohol in the form of colorless oily substance. Refractive index: nD22 1.5520.
