Reaction Steps

7.5 g of LiAlH4 was added to 250 ml of ether, and under stirring below 10° C., 46 g of the above ester was dropped in 2 hours. After the addition, the mixture was stirred for 2 hours and left standing overnight. The mixture was acidified to pH 1 with 5%-hydrochloric acid and extracted with ether. The ether layer, after being separated, was dried with anhydrous MgSO4, followd by distilling-off of the ether to obtain 31 g of 2-pentyloxypropanol.
