Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminium hydride (a 1M solution in tetrahydrofuran; 5.17 ml, 5.17 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of methyl 3-(2-triethylsilyl-4-furyl)propionate (1.38 g, 5.17 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) at 0 degrees under argon. After 20 minutes, the mixture was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. Evaporation of the dried (magnesium sulfate) extracts gave the desired alcohol, which was used directly in the next step.
