Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of cyclohexenone (1) (2.88 g, 30 mmol) in hexanes at −78° C. was treated with DIBAL (30 mL, 1.0 M in cyclohexane). After 25 m, MeOH (7 mL) was added and the mixture was warmed to rt. A saturated solution of Rochelle's salt was added followed by dilution with ether (100 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The product was purified by chromatography on SiO2 with 20% EtOAc:Hx to give a clear colorless alcohol 2, 2.0 g (68%).
