NaBH4 is added, in portions, at 0° C., to the solution of 4-methyl-1-indanone in THF/CH3OH. After 3 hours the mixture is poured into water and extracted with ether. After washing the organic extracts to neutrality and anhydrifying on Na2SO4, the solvent is evaporated under vacuum. 22.0 g of 4-methyl-1-indanol are obtained (yield=99%).
