A modified work-up procedure for the lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) reduction of esters and other carbonyl compounds is described. The one pot procedure converts an ester to its “homo-reverse ester” and other carbonyl compounds to esters. The key step is trapping the resulting intermediate aluminum alkoxide during reflux with an ester.
