Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of lithium aluminum hydride (200 mg) and anhydrous ether (5 ml.) is added dropwise at 0°, a mixture of ethyl 4[4-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenoxy]-3-methoxy-2-pentenoate (400 mg) and ether (5 ml.). After addition is complete, the mixture is stirred for about 30 minutes. Wet ether and water are added to destroy excess hydride. Filtration and evaporation of filtrate gives 4-[4-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenoxy]-3-methoxy-2-penten-1-ol.
