Procedure

Methyl 3-formyl-4-isopropoxy-benzoate (180 mg, 0.81 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (4.8 mL) and LiBH4 (35 mg, 1.6 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes before it was quenched with methanol (3 mL). The reaction was neutralized by the addition of a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate (3 mL) and was then extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The combined organics were washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride (1×10 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to yield methyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)-4-isopropoxy-benzoate (99%) as a viscous liquid. ESI-MS m/z calc. 224.3, found 225.3 (M+1)+; Retention time: 1.26 minutes (3 min run). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 8.09 (s, 1H), 7.89 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.13 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 5.25 (t, J=5.6 Hz, 1H), 4.86-4.68 (m, 1H), 4.54 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 2H), 3.87 (s, 3H), 1.35 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 6H).
