Reaction Steps

Following the procedure of part (a) of Example I a 400 g sample of 2-methyl-2-phenyl-4-pentenal was reduced with 30 g of lithium aluminum hydride in 1200 ml of anhydrous ether. Usual workup and distillation afforded 386 g (96% yield) of the desired 2-methyl-2-phenyl-4-penten-1-ol (bp 112°-114° C./0.5 mm Hg) with a purity of 97%.
