Ethylene glycol glycidyl methyl ether (50 g, 0.76 moles) was then added dropwise. After the completion of the dropwise addition, the solution was stirred for 2 hours and then air-cooled at room temperature. The solution was neutralized with hydrochloric acid and a salt was deposited by adding acetone, followed by filtration. Low-boiling materials were removed under reduced pressure to obtain 67 g (yield 85%) of 1,3-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)-2-propanol.
