Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-t-butyl-2-(4-ethoxycarbonylcyclohexyl)-2-methyl-1,3-dithiane (0.76 g.) in dry ether (10 ml.) was added, with stirring, to a suspension of lithium aluminium hydride (142 mg.) in dry ether (15 ml.) under nitrogen at 0° C. After allowing to warm to 25° C. the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours. Aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was then added (1.25 ml. of a 10% solution). The ether solution was decanted and the residue washed with 2×25 ml. portions of ether. After drying over anhydrous magnesium sulphate the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 5-t-butyl-2-(4-hydroxymethylcyclohexyl)-2-methyl-1,3-dithiane.
