NaBH4 (20 mg, 0.51 mmol) was added to a 0.4 M solution of CeCl3 in MeOH (0.65 mL, 0.26 mmol), 31.4 (74 mg, 0.26 mmol), and THF (1 mL). The reaction was stirred, uncapped, until gas evolution ceased. The reaction was quenched with water (1.5 mL) and partitioned between water and diethyl ether. The aqueous layer was extracted 2 times with diethyl ether and the combined organic layers were washed with brine and concentrated in vacuo to yield 69 mg (93%) of 4-[2-Methyl-4-(2-methyl-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-but-3-en-2-ol (31.5). LC/MSD m/e: 266.3 (M—OH); 1H NMR (400 MHz) (DMSO-d6) δ 7.44 (2H, m), 7.25 (3H, m0, 6.86 (2H, m), 6.75 (1H, m), 6.08 (1H, m), 5.11 (2H, s), 4.40, (1H, m), 2.38 (3H, s), 2.32 (3H, s), 1.29 (3H, m).
