반응 단계

Isopropylidineglycerol (solketal, 26.4 g, 0.20 mol) in 60 mL of toluene was added dropwise to a solution of powdered KOH (22.4 g, 0.04 mol) in 150 mL toluene. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 4 hours. 1-Bromodecane (50 g, 0.20 mol) in 40 mL of toluene was then added dropwise, and the solution was refluxed for 10 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted with 200 mL of ice-water and extracted with diethyl ether (3×100 mL). The ether layers were dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in 60 mL of diethyl ether and 260 mL of MeOH. Concentrated HCl (60 mL) was added, and the solution was refluxed for 16 hours. After cooling, ice water (150 mL) was added, and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether (2×75 mL). The combined organic fractions were then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The solid residue was recrystallized from MeOH to give 37 g (0.14 mol), 71% of a white solid.
