Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 2-methoxymethoxy-5-propylbenzoate (6.06 g) and tetrahydrofuran (200 mL) was added lithium aluminum hydride (0.96 g) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. To the mixture was added sodium sulfate 10 hydrate (8.18 g) and the mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 30 min.
