A tetrahydrofuran (190 mL) solution of 1-(diethoxymethyl)cyclopropane carboaldehyde (37.78 g) was cooled to 0° C. Lithium aluminum hydride (2 g, 52.7 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for 40 minutes. Water was added to terminate the reaction, followed by extraction with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with water and then dried over sodium sulfate.
