Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 13181689, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.3 g of sodium tetrahydroborate was added to a solution of 9.9 g of 5-((benzyloxy)methyl)oxolane-2-one in 12 mL of ethanol and 48 mL of tetrahydrofuran in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature of 5° C. to 10° C., and thereafter, a solution of 7.0 g of calcium chloride in 25 mL of ethanol was then added dropwise to the mixture over 20 minutes. Thereafter, 25 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added to the reaction mixture, and the obtained mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 200 minutes. Thereafter, 200 mL of ethyl acetate was added to the reaction mixture, and 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid was then added dropwise to the mixture. The organic layer was fractionated. The obtained organic layer was washed with 100 mL of a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution, and then with 100 mL of a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution twice, and it was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure, so as to obtain 9.4 g of 5-(benzyloxy)pentane-1,4-diol in the form of a colorless oily product.
