Reaction Steps
The above ester (4 g) in dry ether under nitrogen at 0° was treated with lithium aluminium hydride (0.9 g). After 1 hour at 0° and 18 hours at 25° water was added carefully and the mixture worked up in the usual manner to give 4-benzylbenzyl alcohol (2.52 g). NMR 1H: 7.21(9H,m), 4.53(2H,s), 3.95(2H,s), 2.10(1H,bs).
