Procedure

A THF (15 mL) solution of methyl 4,5-dicyclopropyl-2-isopropoxybenzoate (5.90 g) was added at 0 C to a mixture of lithium aluminum hydride (1.71 g) and THF (85 mL), and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere. Water (1.8 mL), a 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1.8 mL), and water (5.4 mL) were added in this order to the reaction mixture at 0 C. The mixture was filtered through celite, and then, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain the title compound (5.22 g).
