Procedure

5-Benzyloxymethyl-2,2-dimethyl-5-ethyl-1,3-dioxane (15.0 g.) and Dowex 50×8-200 ion exchange resin (H+ form) (2.0 g.) in methanol (250ml.) containing water (50 ml.) was refluxed, with stirring, for three hours. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo. 2-Benzyloxymethyl-2-hydroxymethyl-butan-1-ol was obtained as a yellow oil (9.7 g.).
