Procedure
A solution of ethyl 3-cyclopent-1-ylbenzoate (4a) (2.5 g, 12 mmol) in ether (25 ml) is added dropwise to a suspension at 0° C. of LiAlH4 (0.57 g, 15 mmol) in ethyl ether (30 ml). The mixture is stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture is cooled to 0° C. and then 4.1 ml of a 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution are added dropwise. The white precipitate formed is filtered under vacuum, the solid washed with ether and then the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate: 90/10). The title product (1.35 g) is obtained in the form of a colorless oil.
