Reaction Steps

To a slurry solution of LiAlH4 (200 mg) in anhydrous ether (5 ml) is added dropwise at 0°, a solution of ethyl 4-[4-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenoxy]-3-methoxy-2-pentenoate (400 mg) in anhydrous ether (5 ml). After addition is complete, the reaction mixture is stirred at 0° for about 10 minutes. Excess hydride is decomposed with wet ether and water. The mixture is filtered and filtrate washed, dried and evaporated to give 4-[4-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy) phenoxy]-3-methoxy-2-penten-1-ol.
