Procedure
To a solution of 2,2,12,12-tetramethyl-8-oxopentadecanedioic acid diethyl ester (33.6 g, 84.3 mmol) in 60% aqueous isopropanol (337 mL) was added sodium borohydride (1.6 g, 41 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 45° C. for 2 h, diluted with water (400 mL), and extracted with MTBE (2×200 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (200 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product (33.0 g, 98%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3/TMS): δ (ppm): 4.11 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 4H), 3.55-3.45 (m, 1H), 1.60-1.18 (m, 26H), 1.15 (s, 12H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3/TMS): δ (ppm): 178.1, 72.0, 60.3, 42.4, 40.9, 37.7, 30.4, 25.8, 25.4, 25.1, 14.5. HPLC: 87.5% pure.
