Procedure

1.65 g (43.6 mmol) of sodium borohydride was gradually added to 16.1 g (72.6 mmol) of the (2,5-dimethylphenyl)-3-oxopentylsulfide and 64 ml of ethanol at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was poured into ice and an aqueous solution containing 5% hydrochloric acid and extracted with dichloroethane. The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to give 16.3 g of (2,5-dimethylphenyl)-3-hydroxypentylsulfide in the form of a colorless transparent oil.
