Procedure
A solution of crude methyl 7-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2-oxoheptanoate (1 g) in 1,2-dichloroethane (10 ml) was treated with sodium triacetoxyborohydride (822 mg, 3.88 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours, quenched with sat. aq. sodium bicarbonate and extracted with ether. The organic phase was washed with aq. sodium bicarbonate, brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1) to give the title compound (554 mg, 43%, 2 steps) as a colorless liquid.
