Solid NaBH4 (2.55 g, 0.067 mol) was added portion-wise to a solution of p-methoxybenzophenone (25.14 g, 0.118 mol) in MeOH (150 mL) at room temperature over 10 min. After the exothermic reaction had subsided, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. TLC (SiO2, CHCl3) indicated incomplete reaction; therefore, additional NaBH4 (2.55 g) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature an additional 2 h. The MeOH was evaporated and the residue partitioned between water (100 mL) and CH2Cl2 (100 mL). The layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (200 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated to give the alcohol (25.24 g, 99%) as a white solid: m.p. 66-67° C. The structure was confirmed by 1H--NMR in CDCl3.
