Procedure
To a slurry of LAH (2.06 g, 54.29 mmol) in THF (60 mL) was added 3-ethylglutamic acid (3.5 g, 21.71 mmol) dropwise at 0° C. over 20 min. The reaction was heated to 36° C. for 18 h. The reaction slurry (gray) was cooled to 0° C. and quenched with H2O (3 mL) then washed with 1N NaOH (9 mL) and H2O (3 mL). It was then stirred for 6 h at 25° C. to obtain an off-white slurry. The slurry was filtered and the mother liquor was further dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to obtain 3-ethyl-2-methylpentane-1,5-diol as a crude yellow oil (2.85 g, 89.17%). Mass Spectrum (+ESI): 170 (M+Na)+.
