[(1R,2S)-2-phenylcyclopropyl]methanol

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Instead of styrene, 4-fluorostyrene (10.0 g) was used and treated by the same techniques as in Reference Example 23-1(1) and (2) as well as Reference Example 19-1 to give the titled compound as a colorless oil (4.48 g).

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a solution in diethyl ether (12.0 mL) of the ethyl cis-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate (1.51 g) obtained in step (1) above, a suspension of aluminum lithium hydride (393 mg) in diethyl ether (12.0 mL) was added at 0° C. After being brought to room temperature, the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. After adding sodium sulfate decahydrate at 0° C., the reaction mixture was brought to room temperature and stirred for an hour. After removing the insoluble matter by filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give (cis-2-phenylcyclopropyl)methanol as a colorless oil (1.21 g). was added at 0° C After being brought to room temperature was brought to room temperature stirred for an hour After removing the insoluble matter by filtration the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure
