Procedure

A solution of 4-isopropyloxy benzaldehyde of formula 5 (5 g, 30 mmol) in dry diethyl ether is slowly added to an ethereal solution of Grignard reagent prepared from magnesium metal (0.84 g, 35 mmol) and iodomethane (2.6 ml, 40 mmol) and the contents stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. After the completion of the reaction, the mixture is worked up by adding saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride (10 ml), followed by dilution with water (100 ml), separating the organic layer and extracting the aqueous layer with solvent ether (2×100 ml). The combined organic layer is washed with water (2>20 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo to yield 1-(4 -isopropyloxy phenyl) ethanol, in a semisolid of general formula 4 in 92.5% yield.
