Procedure

To an ice cold solution of 2,2-dimethyl-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-carbaldehyde (545) (1 g, 3.96 mmol) in methanol (20 mL) was added portion wise sodium borohydride (179.9 mg, 4.76 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 3 hours, quenched slowly with water. The product was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (20% EtOAc in hexanes) to provide (2,2-dimethyl-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)methanol (546).
