Procedure

To a solution of 5-methyl-3-(3-nitropyridin-4-yl)cyclohex-2-enone (1.0 equiv.) in EtOH (0.3 M) was added CeCl3-7H2O (1.2 equiv.). The reaction was cooled to 0° C., then NaBH4 (1.2 equiv.) was added in portions. Stirred for 1 h at 0° C., then quenched by adding water, concentrated to remove the EtOH, added EtOAc, extracted the organics, washed with brine, then dried with Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to yield cis-(+/−)-5-methyl-3-(3-nitropyridin-4-yl)cyclohex-2-enol (94%). LC/MS=235.2 (M+H), LC=2.62 min.
