p-Toluene sulphonic acid (2.0 gm) was added to a solution of 3-[(benzyloxy)methyl]cyclobutanone (25.0 gm, 131.6 mmol) (step b) and 1,2-ethanediol (8.98 gm, 144.7 mmol) in benzene and the reaction mixture was refluxed with removal of water through dean-stark apparatus. After about 6 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, followed by water and brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure to get a crude product, which was purified by column chromatography.
