Procedure
A slurry of lithium aluminum hydride (883 mg, 23.27 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (19.4 mL) cooled to 0° C. was treated with 2-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (4.7 g, 19.59 mmol). The reaction was stirred at 25° C. for 18 h. At this time, the reaction was poured onto ice/water. This mixture was filtered through a pad of celite (methylene chloride as eluent). The organics were washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (1×100 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give [2-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-cyclopentyl]-methanol (3.25 g, 83.6%) as a clear liquid: EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C11H20O3 (M+) 200.1412. found 200.1412.
