Procedure

To a solution of 3-benzyloxy-2-methyl-benzoic acid (621, 3.0 g, 0.012 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL), lithium aluminum hydride (25 mL, 1M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 0.025 mol) was added dropwise at 0° C. for 5 minutes. The reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature overnight under an atmosphere of nitrogen. After sodium sulfate decahydrate (20.0 g, 0.062 mol) was added, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. A white solid was collected by filtration. The solid compound was further washed with a mixture of hexane and dichloromethane (9:1) and dried under high-vacuum (622, 2.8 g, 91%).
