To a suspension of LiAlH4 (155 mg, 4.0 mmol) in THF (25 mL) a solution of 3-(4-hydroxymethyl-phenyl)-propionic acid (720 mg, 4.0 mmol) in THF (20 mL) is added within 2 min. The resulting mixture is stirred at 70° C. for 80 min before it is treated with sat. aq. NH4Cl solution (10 mL). The suspension is filtered over celite, the filtrate is diluted with water (200 mL) and extracted with diethyl ether (2×75 mL) followed by EA (2×75 mL). The organic extracts are combined, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to leave 3-(4-hydroxymethyl-phenyl)-propan-1-ol (0.51 g) as a colourless oil; tR=0.61 min.
