Reaction Steps

A solution of 9-formyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracene (200 mg) and sodium borohydride (60 mg) in methanol (5 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness to give 9-hydroxymethyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracene. M.P. 165°-166° C.
