Procedure

A solution of 1-(2'-hydroxy-3',4',6'-trimethylphenyl)-1,6-hexanediol (formula III-3 wherein R=H3C, X=H, Y=OH, n=4, in the free form) (5.43 parts) in acetic acid (150 volume parts) was stirred with 5% palladium on carbon (4.79 parts) under a stream of hydrogen gas at room temperature until the uptake of hydrogen ceased. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel and eluted with chloroform-methanol (100:1). From the 1st fraction, 6-(2'-hydroxy-3',4',6'-trimethylphenyl)hexanol (formula III-2, wherein R=H3C, X=H, Y=OH, n=4, in the free form) (0.872 part) was obtained as colorless needles melting at 81°-82° C.
