Procedure

To a slurry of lithium aluminum hydride (0.24 g) in diethyl ether (15 mL) was added dropwise ethyl 4,4-difluorocyclohexanecarboxylate (1.0 g) in diethyl ether (2 mL). The reaction heated at reflux under nitrogen for 4 hours. The reaction was cooled to 0° C., followed by the careful addition of water (0.24 mL), 4N aqueous NaOH (0.24 mL), and water (0.72 mL). The reaction was diluted with diethyl ether (40 mL) and stirred with sodium sulfate for 30 minutes. The mixture was filtered though diatomaceous earth and the filtrate was concentrated to provide the title compound.
