Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloroethyl methyl ether (Acros, 68.0 mL) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) (250 mL) was added sodium sulfite (103 g) and water (250 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 18 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was extracted with methanol (500 mL). The solid was removed by filtration and washed with methanol (250 mL). The combined filtrate and washings were evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound as a white solid.
