Reaction Steps

To this end, 1,2-isopropylidene-sn-glycerol is dissolved in p-xylene and stirred with the addition of potassium-tert.-butylate and benzyl chloride. Upon completion of the reaction, water and diisopropyl ether are added in equal parts; and a phase separation is carried out. The 3-benzyl-sn-glycerol in the upper phase is obtained by evaporation and subjected to additional cleaning steps.
