Procedure
Under nitrogen atmosphere, a solution of 8-oxo-2,2,14,14-tetramethylpentadecane-1,15-diol (0.9 g, 2.5 mmol) in iso-propanol (10 mL) was added dropwise to a stirred suspension of sodium borohydride (0.1 g, 2.7 mmol) in iso-propanol (10 mL) at room temperature. The reaction progress was monitored by thin layer chromatography (silica, hexanes:ethyl acetate=1:1). Additional sodium borohydride was added after each hour (0.36 g, 10 mmol, six times). The reaction mixture was stirred for additional 20 h, hydrolyzed with water (10 mL), acidified with 1 N hydrochloric acid (25 mL) to pH 1, and extracted with dichloromethane (4×15 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with saturated sodium chloride solution (15 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to furnish the crude product (1.0 g) as a white solid in oil, which was purified by column chromatography (silica; hexanes, then hexanes:ethyl acetate=2:1 to 1:2) to give the pure product (0.35 g, 43%) as nice white crystals.
