Reaction Steps

23 g (1 mol) of sodium were added in portions over the course of 4 hours to 325 g (2.5 mol) of 1-octanol while stirring at 105° C. (the temperature did not rise above 120° C. during this). The mixture was stirred at 115° C. for 1 hour. Subsequently, 110.5 g (1 mol) of 3-chloro-propane-1,2-diol were added over the course of 2 hours, and the mixture was stirred at 120° C. for 3 hours. After cooling, the mixture was taken up in 400 ml of diethyl ether and extracted 3× with a total of 700 ml of water. The ethereal phase was dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated. The residue was distilled in vacuo.
