Procedure

A solution of lithium aluminium hydride (~2 gm) in ether (50 ml) was slowly added to a solution of ethyl 2-(2-phenyl-6-benzoxazolyl)-propionate (5 g) in ether (40 ml). The mixture was heated under reflux for 1 hr., then ethyl acetate was slowly added until effervescence ceased. 6-N-Aqueous hydrochloric acid was then added and the ether layer was separated off and dried. Chromatography over silica gel yield pure 2-(2-phenyl-6-benzoxazolyl)-propanol, m.p. 98° C.
