120 grams of random, internal epoxyhexadecane was placed in a glass-lined autoclave with 40 ml. of 10% H2SO4. The mixture was heated to 150° C. for 3 hours under 300 psi N2. Upon cooling, the product solidified in the autoclave. The aqueous portion was decanted, and the solid was dissolved in hot hexane. The solution was dried over anhydrous, MgSO4, filtered, and cooled. The resulting crystals were removed by filtration to yield approximately 95% of pure random, internal vicinal hexadecane diol.
