Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (4.71 g) in THF (200 ml) was added a solution of methyl 6-(4-biphenylyl)methoxy-2-tetralinacetate (24.0 g) in THF (50 ml) under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr and diluted with saturated aqueous Rochelle salt. The precipitate was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated.
