A suspension of LiAlH4 (4.52 g, 119 mmol) in 230 mL of THF was treated with a solution of 4-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)-2-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-trifluoromethylpentanoic acid ethyl ester (27.5 g, 79.4 mmol) in 40 mL of THF at 0° C. over 30 minutes. After stirring overnight, the reaction was cooled to 0° C., quenched with 3 mL of water, and treated with 3 mL of 4 M NaOH solution. After 10 minutes, the mixture was treated with additional 18 mL portion of water and the resulting mixture was warmed to room temperature for 4 hours. The mixture was filtered and the filter cake was washed with five 100 mL portions of diethyl ether. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 24.0 g of 4-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)-4-methyl-2-trifluoromethylpentane-1,2-diol as an oil (99%).
