Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution in diethyl ether (12.0 mL) of the ethyl cis-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate (1.51 g) obtained in step (1) above, a suspension of aluminum lithium hydride (393 mg) in diethyl ether (12.0 mL) was added at 0° C. After being brought to room temperature, the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. After adding sodium sulfate decahydrate at 0° C., the reaction mixture was brought to room temperature and stirred for an hour. After removing the insoluble matter by filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give (cis-2-phenylcyclopropyl)methanol as a colorless oil (1.21 g).
