Procedure

The ketone, trans-3-hexanoyl stilbene of Example 23 (1 g) was dissolved in ethanol, and sodium borohydride (0.2 g) was added. The mixture was stirred overnight. Excess of the borohydride was destroyed by carefully adding a dilute HCl solution. The aqueous solution was extracted thoroughly with ether, and then the ether extract was washed with brine and dried. On removal of all volatiles, the pure alcohol was obtained as a clear, colorless liquid in quantitative yield.
