Procedure

12.5 g (36.03 mmol) of 4-(1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl)-2-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-pentanoic acid ethyl ester is introduced into 430 ml of diethyl ether and mixed in portions with 2.05 g (54.1 mmol) of lithium aluminum hydride at 0° C. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the batch is carefully added to sodium bicarbonate solution. It is filtered by means of diatomaceous earth and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts are washed with brine, dried, and the solvent is spun off after the desiccant is filtered off. Chromatography of the residue on silica gel (mobile solvent ethyl acetate/hexane) yields 6.7 g (61%) of the desired alcohol.
