After completion of the dropping, the stirring was continued further for 1 hour at 65° C. After the reaction mixture was then cooled, 90 ml of a 5% aqueous solution of KOH were added with stirring. A salt precipitated was separated by filtration, and the resultant solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, thereby obtaining 185.7 g (yield: 86.6%) of 1,12-octadecanediol.
