In a 150 ml three-necked flask, to a stirred mixture of lithium aluminum tetrahydride (LiAlH4, 1.0 g, 26.2 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) was added dropwise a solution of 3-ethyl-4-hydroxy-phenyl thiocyanic acid (1.3 g, 7.25 mmol) in 20 ml tetrahydrofuran at 0° C. After 30 min of stirring at 0° C., the mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature and then stirred for another 1 hour at room temperature. The reaction was quenched by adding ethanol (10 ml). The value of pH of the mixture was adjusted to pH 3-4 by adding 6 N hydrochloric acid in an ice water bath, and then the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×60 ml). The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtrated, and evaporated in vacuo to yield the crude product of 3-ethyl-4-hydroxy-mercaptobenzene (yellow liquid).
