Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of ethyl 9-phenylnonanoate (0.884 g, 3.37 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 ml) under argon at 0° was added diisobutylaluminum hydride (8.43 ml of a 1.0M solution). This mixture was warmed to room temperature and quenched with 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid. The organic portion was washed with 5% sodium bicarbonate, water, saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give the desired alcohol which was carried on without further purification.
