Procedure

To a stirred tetrahydrofurane solution (40 ml) of 7-(2,5-dimethoxy-3,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-7-(3-pyridyl)heptanoic acid (3.0, 7.8 mmol) prepared in the Reference Example 11 was added lithium aluminum hydride (450 mg, 11.9 mmol) under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was allowed to rise to room temperature and stirred for 30 min. After that water was carefully added to the reaction mixture and the product was extracted with ethylacetate. The extract was washed with water, dried, and evaporated in vacuo to yield 7-(2,5-dimethoxy-3,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-7-(3-pyridyl)heptanol (2.3 g, 79.6%) as, an oil, after chromatography of the crude product on silica gel.
