実験手順

A solution of 25.0 g (379 mmol) 85% KOH in 300 ml water is added to 40.0 g (74.3 mmol) diethyl-2,5-bis-(6-acetoxyhexoxy)terephthalate in 250 ml ethanol and the whole is heated under reflux for 1.5 hours. After distilling off approx. 150 ml ethanol, the reaction mixture is acidified by adding 40.0 g conc. HCl and stored at 2° C. for 20 hours for complete crystallization of the crude product. The colourless crude product is then filtered off, washed neutral with water and recrystallized from ethanol.
