Procedure

Ethyl 4,4-difluorocyclohexanecarboxylate (1.0 g, 5.20 mmol) in diethyl ether (2 mL) was added dropwise to lithium aluminium hydride (0.24 g) in diethyl ether (15 mL), and heated under reflux for 4 hours. The reaction was then cooled to 0° C., and water was added (0.24 mL), followed by 5N aqueous NaOH (0.24 mL) and water (0.72 mL). Then Na2SO4 and more diethyl ether (40 mL) were added, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, then filtered through celite. After concentration, the residue was diluted with CH2Cl2 and Na2SO4 was added, and the mixture was filtered and concentrated to provide the title compound.
