Reaction Steps

10 ml of lithium aluminium hydride (1 M in tetrahydrofuran) are introduced into a three-necked flask under argon. After having cooled the solution to 0° C., 1.0 g (3.2 mmol) of diethyl 2,2′-[(5-methoxy-1,3-phenylene)bis(oxy)]diacetate in solution in 6 ml of tetrahydrofuran is added. The formation of a white precipitate is observed. After stirring for one hour at ambient temperature, ethyl acetate is slowly added at 0° C. The mixture is poured into a saturated aqueous solution of potassium hydrogen sulphate and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed with a saturated solution of sodium chloride and dried over sodium sulphate, then concentrated to dryness. 1.0 g (78%) of a white powder is obtained.
