Reaction Steps

2.9 g (75 mmol) of lithium aluminum hydride are suspended in 20 ml of ethyl ether. A solution of 7.5 g (19 mmol) of dimethyl 4-{2-[3-(2-ethyl[1,3]dioxolan-2-yl)phenyl]ethyl}phthalate in 100 ml of ethyl ether is added drop by drop. After stirring at ambient temperature for 20 minutes, the reaction medium is treated by addition of 15 ml of water, 1.5 ml of 15% sodium carbonate and 4.5 ml of water, then filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. A colorless oil is obtained (m=6.4 g; Y=99%).
