Procedure

Carboxylic acid 2-3 (400 mg, 1.67 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) and borane (1 M solution in THF, 2.17 mL, 1.3 eq.) was added dropwise at room temperature. After 2 h the reaction was added to 50 mL of 1 N HCl and then extracted three times with 50 mL of methylene chloride. The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford crude methyl 4-(3-hydroxypropyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1-carboxylate (2-4) which was used without purification in the next step. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD): δ 3.66 (3H, s), 3.62 (2H, t, J=6.5 Hz), 1.78 (6H, m), 1.50 (2H, m), 1.41 (2H, m), 1.17 (2H, m) ppm.
