実験手順

4.2 g of the 1,4-bis(benzyloxy)-2,3-epoxybutane thus obtained was dissolved in a mixture comprising 120 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 30 ml of water. Then 30 ml of an aqueous solution containing 6 ml of 60% perchloric acid was added dropwise thereto under ice-cooling and stirring. After stirring at the same temperature for additional 4 hours, the reaction mixture was poured into ice/water and extracted with ether. The extract was washed with water and dried. After distilling off the solvent, the obtained oily residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, hexane/ethyl acetate) to thereby give 2.7 g of 1,4-bis(benzyloxy)-2,3-butanediol as a colorless liquid.
