Procedure

2-(Benzyloxy)acetaldehyde (5 g, 33.3 mmol) in dry THF (10 mL) was added dropwise to a stirred and cooled solution of allylmagnesium chloride (25 mL, 2 M in THF, 50 mmol) in THF (100 mL) at −78° C. After the addition, the solution was allowed to warm to 0° C. and quenched with saturated NH4Cl solution. After standard aqueous work up, the residue was purified over silica using EtOAc and hexane to give 1-(benzyloxy)pent-4-en-2-ol (11).
