    The document proposes using LiAlH4 to reduce the carbonyl groups in menthofuran to hydroxyl groups, transforming menthofuran into an alcohol. LiAlH4 will selectively reduce the carbonyl groups to hydroxyl groups without reducing the furan or ether functional groups. This transformation uses the strong reducing agent LiAlH4 to synthesize an alcohol derivative of menthofuran.
