Procedure

To a solution of 198 g. of m-phenoxy-benzaldehyde in 1 liter of absolute ethanol 60 g. of aluminum ethoxide are added. The reaction mixture is allowed to stand at room temperature. The reaction mixture is then evaporated under atmospheric pressure. From the residue following the procedure of Example 1 198 g. (98.9%) of m-phenoxybenzyl alcohol are prepared in a purity over 95% (according to gas chromatography).
