22.6 g (100 mmol) 2,4-dinitrophenylacetic acid is dissolved in 150 ml tetrahydrofuran and added dropwise in a the course of 2 hours to 300 ml (300 mmol) of a borane-tetrahydrofuran complex 1.0 M solution in tetrahydrofuran. After 3 hours at 25° C., 200 ml water is carefully added. The reaction mixture is then partitioned between ethyl acetate and water; the organic phase is washed repeatedly with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated by rotary evaporation. Chromatography of the residue on 400 g silica gel using toluene:ethyl acetate 1:1 as eluant and crystallization form ethylacetate:hexane mixture to yield 20.7 g (98%) of 2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)ethanol as yellowish crystals.
