Procedure

A solution of methyl 4-formylbenzoate (2.09 g, 12.7 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) was cooled to 0° C. To this solution was added n-propylmagnesium bromide (6.4 mL, 2.0M in THF) dropwise over 20 minutes. The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 2 h. The reaction was then quenched by addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride. This mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography gave methyl 4-(1-hydroxybutyl)benzoate (1.25 g, 47%) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ) 7.97-8.02 (m, 2H), 7.40 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 4.74 (dd, J=7.8, 5.7 Hz, 1H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 1.61-1.82 (m, 2H), 1.23-1.49 (m, 2H), 0.92 (t, J=7.32 Hz, 3H).
