Abstract
(E)-Isomers of coniferyl and sinapyl alcohols were readily and cleanly prepared in excellent yields from commercially available coniferaldeh yde and sinapaldehyde by sodium triacetoxyborohydride reduction in eth yl acetate. No 1,4-reduction products, always produced in prior method s, could be detected.
