Participants

Reaction Steps

4.5 g of LiAlH4 was added to 150 ml of ether and the mixture was stirred for 3.5 hours. To the mixture was added dropwise 38.8 g of (-)-ethyl-2-octadecyloxypropionate in the same manner as in Example 6, and the mixture was stirred for 20 minutes. Then, 50 ml of water was added thereto and 10% H2SO4 aqueous solution was further added to give a pH of 7-8. The ether layer was separated, dried with MgSO4 and filtrated. Ether was distilled off and the residue was subjected to distillation under reduced pressure, whereby 14.0 g of (+)-2-octadecyloxypropanol was obtained by collecting a fraction of 175°-179° C./0.9 mmHg.
