Reaction Steps

To a suspension of LiAlH4 (0.114 g, 30 mmol) in diethylether (20 ml) was added a solution of 2,4-dimethyl-1-vinylcyclohex-3-enecarbaldehyde (56 mmol) in diethylether (10 ml) at 5° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. 0.1 ml of water, 0.1 ml 16% aq. NaOH and 0.3 ml of water were carefully added dropwise. The mixture was stirred for 2 h, was then filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography to give (2,4-dimethyl-1-vinylcyclohex-3-enyl)methanol (76% yield).
